OMG. This story did catch me up. I was right there with Helen and the fireflies, and but now it's Helen's dealings with the dude, and now the echoing voices of her parents. I loved the sneak attack mode, starting out with an easy bit of nature writing, no it's about their relationship, no it's her and her parents, no, it's her emotions roiling up and now she's gobbling down the fireflies. So much in so few words and me literally on the edge of my seat.
