Great story! Truly heartwarming. The character of Shay is unfortunately a model of what happens to too many young girls all over the world. It's good to see her least get a chance for a happy life. I'd love to see her in future stories.

Great story, as I am becoming used to -- from you. Your dialog is wonderful! I see very few writers that do as well. If you take constructive criticism, I found a few small errors: “No buts,” Logan growled. “Just do it Peter. Trust me you don’t want this on your conscious." According to Merriam- Webster's Dictionary, the word you want, the way you used it, is "conscience"--that small, still voice inside each one of us that tells when we are doing something wrong. Also. I have noticed that you do the its/it's mistake that tons of people who got through middle school and high school without a grammar teacher make; "it's" equals "it is" the apostrophe shows that it's a contraction. "Its" has no no apostrophe, which means that something belongs to it: The vine covered wall was covering a secret; a man hid in its shadow. Terrific story!

This. Almost. Made. Me. Cry.

Do you realize how hard that is to do?? Very.

First I was so angry at what happened to Shay and then Logan pissed me off... he really knows how to do that ;)

Great story!
