You know what - this is absolutely perfect. I'd love to see an epilogue, naturally, but this feels very closed to me. Neal's mental stability is still a little shaky, and Peter and El are still waiting and helping and supporting, but there is a closure to this that feels very right. I don't need to read on, because I know Neal, Peter, and El will be okay. Eventually.

Also, you're amazing. Just really, really a fantastic author. You dealt with Neal's past history of abuse in a very tactfull and insightful manner, and that made it feel very authentic. I actually teared up a bit.

I don't know what else to say, except thank you for sharing. I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
