Time passes. Time dies. Mimi and Roger found each other, but she passed away year later. Roger didn't date after that. He was too sick and he didn't want to loose another loved one. He claimed that every girl he cares about dies. Mimi, April and Angel.
Maureen and Joanne were off and on for a while. The finally made it work and moved to Massachusetts when gay marriage became legal there. They are now married and even adopted a son.
Mark stayed with Roger for a while. Then he got married and moved out. He still lived in the same area, though. After 13 years his wife left him for another man. She tried to take their two 3 year old daughters, Mimi and Angel, but Mark won custody of them
And then there's Collins. Collins laid the hospital. Mark had just left. He knew his time was up. The love of his life had been gone for 20 years and now Collins would be with her again.
Mark knocked on the door and came in the room with Maureen. "Collins?" she whispered. When Collins didn't respond she ran over to his bed side.
Collins is dead. They both knew it. But neither of them could cry. They knew Collins would finally be at peace and be with Angel, again. Something he has been wanting for years.
Collins's death was hard on everyone. Maureen and Joanne cried over his grave.
Mark was staring at his friend gravestone when one of his daughters called his name.
"Hey daddy! This person had the same name as me." Mark looked at the stone next to Collins's. Mark smiled and looked at the two grave stones next to each other.
Angel Dumott Schunard and Tom Collins.
Mark kneeled down in front of Collins's grave when he saw a lime green book poking out from the ground. Mark opened it and it turned to the last page. He silently read the last page. Then a piece of paper fell out.
In Collins's handwriting it said I will be with you soon, my love. You wont have to wait much longer.
