I'm so glad you could see this, Stefano! This was always where the story was supposed to end, with moving into their new home, but I listened to the clamor for more more more. I felt fortunate there was a clamor at all, and I fully intended to take it further, but I also had this very strong urge to write new stories. I never should have taken that final break from Cards to do that. Not wrapping this up is something that haunts me almost daily. Still, I keep the faith that my muse will comply one day. No one can leave a review until that happens, and I think the story and readers deserve that closure, that feeling you get when you read the final moments of a favorite story.
Thanks for bringing me back here, my friend. Your words are very kind.
