This ficlet brings tears to my eyes. I can understand the underlying motive. I can argue that for Estella, the not-knowing itself is painful. But I suppose no matter how hard she tried, no matter how earnestly she tried, and no matter how well Merry told her, she would not have understood. This is beautifully-written. And I admire you for your honesty and courage in sharing this.
