Thank you for all your support. I don't think I'd have finished this story if I didn't know someone out there would read it and find something worthwhile. Your reviews keep me writing.
My next Bangle story will be an all human AU. The author of an amazing story, Teenage Anthem, has graciously given me permission to write a sequel.

It will be a smooth glide. It will go quickly but have taken its own from time.
Oh lovely, I am pulled to you and cannot pull back. I am ready and you have always been.
At last now, lover, let us begin:
