I'm here via Selenak, and I want to tell you how impressed I am with this. You paced it beautifully, had what seems to be complete control of the time skipping that you made a part of the story, you had Alice's voice down pat, you have what seems to be a true understanding of the deep and dangerous reaches of the human heart and ... well, let's just say The Time Traveller's Daughter is a hell of a lot better than The Time Traveller's Wife, as far as I'm concerned.

Brilliant, and an immediate favorite of mine.
