The first thing Oliver Davis sees in his office is the stack of books on his desk. The books look familiar but unnatural, as he is sure they were not there when he left yesterday. He closes his door and approaches the stack. It is topped by a thick English book. Recognition niggles at the back of his mind.
He knows this book.
Just as recognition hits him, his door opens.
"'Morning, Noll!" He turns to see Madoka enter his office with someone in tow. "Have you met my friend?" she queries in a cheerful, smug manner, as she always does when she is terribly amused.
Noll narrows his eyes.
Taking Madoka's question as a signal, his former mentor's friend steps out from behind her. And just like that, he comes face to face with a smiling Mai Taniyama.
"How do you do, Dr. Davis?"
Author's Notes: We've reached the last chapter of Return to Sender! Thanks so much for making it this far. :D Special thanks to Lady Angel Sanada Doji Date, Neo Eodieseo Watneunji, Hyuuga Senpai, sleonard, thearistocrat, and anonymous reviewers notYasu and Guest for the kind feedback! Naru's doing quite well, by the way (but not for long?)!
If you liked this fic and would like a dash of romance, I hope you'll be interested in the sequel/side B I plan on writing. I already have a name for it, though I haven't written anything yet. XD The sequel also starts with the word "Return" (because I'm nitpicky that way), in case you want to check it out when/if it's published. See you in the next installment, hopefully! :3
