Your link doesn't seem to be working, but I found the story anyway. Congratulations. I'm so glad this wonderful work found such a good home. The focus on Ed's voice feels just right. Well done.
I don't really know how to say with words what I felt reading that, as it's just so huge. But I can't help having a wee cry/total bawl now. It's kind of amazing that you were able to write this, I'm glad you did, It's important.
"Ed’s voice sounds as it always does; intelligent, a London Estuary accent with a huge vocabulary, a little sneery." Perfectly described Sara, so evocative that i could hear Matt saying those words and almost see the slight, wry smile that he would have said it with.

Thanks for the heads up, I think I've fixed the link. And thanks for reading and commenting, it means a lot.

Read 'Ed's Voice' and, though I was worried about commenting, decided in the end that I had to...
I liked this piece very much, Sara. I know the pain in it is real and you use your real experience to good effect here.
There.
