Summary

This is a sequel to Phone Sex by Taria.  Janey and Taria finally meet
face to face.


Commentary

This is a very soft story.  It strokes the reader gently and does not
try to arouse any violent or intense feelings.  It is about 
friendship and about self-discovery.  It is very well written.

I think what I like best about this story is the way in which Janey 
describes things.  She does a good job of letting us see things from 
her point of view.  My favorite sentence is about halfway through the
story when Janey sees Taria for the first time: "My heart didn't go 
pitty pat or anything wimpy like that; it went, 'Ka-BOOM! Ka-BOOM!'"

This story was more description then plot.  Its a love letter to 
Taria and it is done beautifully.


Judgment

This was an outstanding story.  I would not change a thing.
