Hi all! Thank you for the generally good feedback I've gotten for this story. I'd like to address the epilogue issue smile .

I included this in the story, primarily because I felt the story was too Waffy for my tastes. Yes, in retrospect, it did ruin the story, and should I decide to submit it to the archive, I'll remove it. Generally speaking, I wasn't thrilled with the outcome of this story: it didn't please me, but I posted it anyway. Meh, it happens. But I apologize to anyone who felt that the epilogue was too much, unnecessary, or just plain ruined the story. I'll try better next time laugh .

Thanks again guys, for your readership huh
