You must've been utterly terrified sitting there waiting in the rain without knowing if you could get there or if the rain would stop. It was such a fortuitous coincidence that the people who stopped to ask you directions were going the same way as you were. That, indeed, was fate!
We appreciate the level of commitment you have to The Ink Well community and the authors that make it what it is.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. 😇
