Epilogue:

IDear Diary, Arnold and I have been married for twenty years now, and have had four wonderful children from this happy union. We both know that the dream we shared so many years ago was more than just that. It was our wake-up call . . . to each other. I write this now, on my daughter's 16th birthday, the yeah of my life I almost lost . . . Arnold is currently Governor, I am a novelist, journalist and script-writer. Mine and Arnold's oldest son is going to Harvard, and our oldest daughter is graduating next year. Arnold and I have experienced no serious bumps in our marriage. We have never cheated on each other, have always had a lot of trust between us and keep our professional lives separate from our private ones. He does his thing, I do mine. He has his friends I have mine and so on. It has always worked for us and I hope it will continue to keep on working for another twenty years or more . . . This will be the last time I write in you diary . . . Love, Helga G Smratesnus*

A/N: I couldn't think up a good last name so I just spelt *sunset arms backwards . . . I hope you enjoyed this story and I know it may have been confusing. Trust me, I found it confusing and I was writing the damn thing! Maybe I will do a prequel . . . describing everything that originally led up to "The Dream".what do you think? Or should I leave it? Originally I wasn't going to give Helga a second chance, but I just couldn't bear them not being together you know?)
