I admit freely that I cried when I wrote this. Multiple times. This epilogue has been fluid and ever-changing throughout the last ten or so chapters, and it has me more than any of the rest of the story. I have loved this journey and I am so sad to have it end, but so glad to have shared it with you, whether you have commented or not. If you haven't, I would adore a brief line from you, just to know you're there. If this has touched you, know it has touched me, too.
There is more to come, I promise. I am busy at work on a sequel and will share it when it's ready. Until then, adieu.
