Ok, so I did end up reading this last night, but I didn't want to comment 'til today so that you could have my undivided attention. :)
First of all: title, absolutely adore it.
Second of all: by the end, I actually had goose-bumps. The good kind. And I am not making that up to be dramatic.
This piece just really, really moved me. It is sort of sad that you are turning me into an Emily-lover now that her days are numbered. Where were these fics three years ago when I was all, "Who does this chick think she is, replacing Elle?" ;)
I loved the tone here. I loved that it had a beginning, middle, and an end and that it just seemed to come full circle. There were so many beautiful details, especially the parts between Dave & Emily. Everything was really touching without being cliche or too saccharine.

Lovely, lovely job!
