When they arrived at the old house Ethan had cleared out and was long gone. Stone's belongings and her mother's sword were still where she'd placed them. Laying on them was a short note from Ethan.

'Well, Love, looks like you found your old man after all. Hope you two are happy together. Too bad, it could have been fun times for you and me. Well, me mostly. Ethan
P.S. Ripper, congratulations. I do wonder how you'll manage two of them.'
