Loved the story, and am really glad you gave it a happy ending. I would have been moping around all evening if there was a depressing ending.
;-) Thanks for the story! You're a really good writer!

Thanks, Vamp. As I told Wolfric, about half the reviewers didn't like the ending at all.
I felt it had enough in the way of angst and dire, so it needed a balance. It's still a tragedy, but it's a tragedy that can, with Minerva's assistance, be made right.
Glad you enjoyed it.
