I thought the way you went about Maria's crime was very elegant and rather beautiful to read, even though I was worried the entire time that she'd get away with it. Hopefully Gerard's okay. I doubt he'll die, but there could be other complications that would add a little sadness into the mix :(

Ah you know me too well :') Hopefully there'll still be some surprises in store though ;)
