RE: Voices: The Party (Multiple Personalities Constrained Writing Contest)
Excellent writing, @byn, as always. I must confess I always save your freewrites for last because I just know I'm in for a treat. This was so...vivid. You did a wonderful job outlining the characters and especially their differences. It was clear to me, the reader, who was speaking when.
Really, really nice.
I couldn't help but think that although he understood her, he'd eventually leave her. I don't know why, but I just couldn't shake that feeling, throughout.
Beautiful work. And please keep on writing <3
Aaand I'm in charge of delivering the latest prompt, so here you go:

Thank you @honeydue!
Thank you for the prompt and all of your consistently wonderful and supportive encouragement!!!
To reassure you, he didn't leave. We're still together 24 years later! :)
Oops, damn, I did not realize just how autobiographical this was...:/ Hope you didn't get mad at me saying that <3
And you must be very lucky <3 As is he. :D
Lol, not at all. I'm not sensitive about it at all or I wouldn't have written about it. This was a nice, sweet tame part of life at the time that I toned down so as to be believable.
I had to go reread your comment to see what I might be mad about, just in case I missed something offensive! :) It's all good! I am VERY lucky!
Oh no, it's just that I have a tendency of being...I don't know, I guess I have a bad habit of expecting the worst and I didn't want to project that unto your story, especially as it wasn't like that <3
No worries at all! It is a bizarre enough story as it is, but no one expected us to stay together when we met and that was BEFORE all this crazy came out. And it seems that a lot of people read my fiction assuming it's truth and read my truth assuming it's fiction. I suppose I should get better at clarifying that in the beginning!
