Oh man. Ryder and Willa are so damn cute. I kinda love that Aiden pushes them together. Their little pranks on each other are adorable.
Willa's mom being sick and Ryder's dad being the doctor, I sorta guessed that from the beginning, but I didn't see her going to live the rest of her days in their house. It was a beautiful piece to the story and I loved every bit of it, even when it broke my damn heart.
Ryder was patient and waited because he knew Willa needed space and time to get through some of her grief. Honestly, so well done.
Also, the representation in this story to the deaf/hard of hearing community is so well done.
