Great drama comedy, I like the way your writers are keep the days moving in their lives but with much drama to deal with each day from the past. It’s marvelous and keeps you guessing how their relationship will survive the challenges of the modern city life and change over from lovers to husband and wife as they progress into the future. They are a strong couple and need to be keep in this fashion enduring all the darts thrown at them!
