Author's Note:
Gee, you guys are pretty impatient! :) I put up the NEXT TO THE LAST CHAPTER, and everyone starts pleading that it can't end that way. Do you really think I would do that to everyone out there who has faithfully read and reviewed my story? I had asked a few chapters back, how much longer you thought my story should be. Someone pointed out that they wouldn't want it wrapped up in the next chapter or two, but that they didn't want it to be one of those stories that just dragged on and on. I feel the same way. So, roughly 8 chapters after the question was posed to the group, there is now only one more chapter left. I felt that I had said what had needed to be said, and to have anymore twists or turns would've been in effect, dragging the story on and on. Practically 70 pages later, I've finally wrapped up the tale. However don't fear - I have a sequel in my head, kind of.
I'm thinking about doing a sort of continuation of this story. The changes that take place in Frank/Nancy's relationship, Joe and Bess's separate weddings, things like that. I write fluff and romance really well (I think so, anyway), and adding the mystery element was a challenge to me. So, here's crossing my fingers that I can come up with a decent mystery for my next installment. Or, if you guys prefer, I can write some fluff/romance. Let me know what you think!
Again, thanks so much for all of the incredible reviews! I really do appreciate the kind words, especially with this being my first ND/HB attempt that's seen the light of day.
Enough rambling... enjoy the last chapter. ----Kim
