What an enchanting and heartwarming story! It's a mix of romance and sci-fi. I admire Mandy's character because she's young, curious and open-minded. She's unafraid of the extraordinary, especially of the appearance of the dark blue capsule and the enigmatic figure inside. Despite her parents' reservations towards Garrick, she sees and believe only the good. The funny part for me is her belief that she's "a grown woman " at eighteen! 😄 To most parents, she's still a kid.
The budding romance between the two characters is lovely. I like that Garrick respects Mandy's parents not to take advantage of their daughter. That's beginning of love, in my opinion. I wish I could read more to know how this relationship blossoms. This is a delightful story. Beautifully written as always! Have a relaxing Sunday. 😊 !PIMP
