"Chuck vs the Aussie"
AN1: So sorry for the delay and thanks for all the support! I did forget to mention – the ending on the beach was planned from the start, I love to infuse important characterizations, themes and places with canon and ending on the beach was just right. The – 'I love you' and first time on the beach just seemed to fit as this was, truly a Chuck and Sarah overcoming the odds to be together story. The beach love scene was in part inspired by Lucky47's Chuck vs the Family Matters – which is spectacular. I PM'ed Lucky47 months ago to make sure I wasn't stepping on any toes and was graciously given the thumbs up. Read Family Matters! It is amazing! That is all…. Oh and here is epilogue one of three!
Disclaimers – I don't own Chuck or the Olympics (additional disclaimers in AN2).
Italics will always denote character thoughts and once again keep an eye on the time shifts and dates.
And thank you to everyone who has provided feedback – you have no idea how much I appreciate it! I always PM reviewers… though they may be late from time to time (my bad). I will never beg for reviews, but feedback is so useful and now more than ever are reviews appreciated - the time that is spent reviewing really lifts a writer's spirit. So to those who review thank you so much and to those who read thank you and I hope you continue to enjoy this story.
Chapter 23: Epilogue 1 – Versus the Train
Previously on Chuck vs the Aussie…
After the powerful experience of their first time with one another Chuck simply held Sarah in his arms, protecting her as the swell of emotions hit them both. They sit together, their hearts beating as one as they watched the sun rise on the horizon, giving way to a new day.
Sarah stirs and Chuck holds her tight.
He kisses her head and hair and she smiles content in his arms.
She is the first to speak, "We have big questions to go through… our jobs, where we live, our families and friends…"
Chuck holds her tighter, "Sarah, Don't Freak Out."
She turns in his arms and pulls herself partially on top of him as she touches his chest, feeling his heart beat against her hand.
He breathes her in and says with pure conviction, "As long as I have you…"
And as the sun finishes rising they share a gentle kiss.
Sarah looks deep within his chocolate brown eyes, her ocean blue eyes mirroring her soul as she replies softly, "As long as I have you…"
2 Months later…
The Indian Pacific Railway, Platinum Cabin
Between Sydney and Adelaide, Australia
October 30, 2012
9:04 hrs AEST
The sound of the clack, clack, clack reverberates through the cabin as the metal of the wheels strikes the rail in a rhythmic pattern as the Indian Pacific bound through the temperate Australia landscape of the south east of the country into the grasslands and back again towards the coast.
The long train snakes throughout the winding path through the natural beauty of southern Australia. The train's engine is two rectangular blue 'cars' with yellow accents. There are large 'Indian Pacific' badges, including the image of a bird of prey with outstretched wings over the badging, on the front and sides of the blue locomotive. Behind the engines is a long string of shinny silver passenger cars are pulled through the grassland area of the Aussie bush.
Outside a private cabin, number 50B, a young Australian man in a white dress shirt, red, black and white plaid patterned tie and a black dress pants and vest uniform brings a meal to one of the guests. He pushes a cart with a full course meal and champagne as he thinks, damn rich idiots too lazy to leave their own cabin to walk to the dining car… probably some stuffy old folks! Oh well drop this off and I can disappear for a while.
He knocks twice at the door and nearly falls when the cabin door opens. His mouth drops open at the vision before him. Her blonde hair haloing her head and spilling down her bare shoulders.
He thinks, Crikey! Dear Christ look at that body!
She smiles at his shock as she stands uncomfortably in her pink bra and panties with a sheer black satin robe that is basically see through and barely covers her stunning body.
She reaches and grabs the tray and with a quick thanks she begins to close the door.
The young man regains his composure as the beauty is quite literally going to close the door on him. He tries to speak confidently and smoothly, but it comes out a little shakily, "Will there be anything else Miss? Anything that I could… do for you?"
She smiles and suddenly the door opens more fully and a tall man wraps his long and clearly strong arms around her. The young and very handsome man wears a blue t-shirt and grey sweat pants with mussed curly brown hair. He looks at the waiter and the smiles at the young man, "Actually, you know what I think we have everything we need."
Chuck and Sarah give the waiter beaming smiles.
The Aussie waiter can only respond, "Ah… enjoy."
The door to the room closes and the waiter is left a little shell shocked. As he begins to walk away all he can think is, Lucky bastard!
Inside Chuck and Sarah's Cabin…
Chuck and Sarah are tangled in a loving embrace as they kiss passionately in the double bed at the center of the small private cabin. The walls are stained wood and there is a rectangular 'port hole' window that allows the couple to look out at the Australian wilderness as it passes by. In the center of the room the double bed sits, while a small, but functional on suite washroom and shower is opposite the bed next to the doorway to the hall.
The view and the other amenities on the train are not completely lost on the couple… but mostly are as the couple is content to spend the ride in each other's arms.
Sarah giggles as Chuck's stubble tickles her neck as he kisses her once more. She beams at him, "Gah you are getting all scruffy Mr. Bartowski!"
Chuck smiles and nearly replies back playfully with a 'Mrs. Bartowski,' but he stops himself just in time, "Well it was your idea to hole ourselves up in this cabin! I am like a prisoner in here at your whim!"
Chuck and Sarah share a look before bursting into laughter. Sarah slaps his bare chest playfully, "Like you are suffering! Not enjoying the view?" Sarah says playfully looking out the window before turning her eyes back to Chuck.
Chuck smiles softly, "I have a perfect view…" He stares intently into her eyes as he says this and her breath instantly hitches.
She smiles at him and touches his cheek softly, "Chuck…"
She pulls him into a passionate kiss as they world disappears and once again the couple is lost in their own little world. All Sarah can think is, This is so much better than watching the world pass us by…
Later…
Chuck and Sarah regain their breath as they bask in the afterglow following their expression of love.
Finally Sarah breaks the silence as she lies intertwined with Chuck, with her head on his chest. "Can you believe we are here Chuck?"
Chuck can only laugh and smile, "No… I can't believe I am in Australia let alone in bed, on a train I might add, with the most beautiful girl in the world."
Sarah smiles and kisses his chest, "Charmer."
Chuck smiles, "Best contract I ever signed."
Sarah has a contemplative look overcome her face, "You're sure? I mean… you're okay with this… the trip and everything?"
Chuck smiles kindly and kisses her blonde head, "Of course."
Sarah's face twists, "But my dad…"
Flashback Sydney, Australia…
Sarah stares at her father in the Walker family home before looking at Chuck sitting to her left, then to her mother across the room before leveling her gaze back on her father. Her expression darkens and her brow furrows, "What?"
Jack Walker smiles smoothly, "Well, when Charlie was here last time we had a little chat and…"
Sarah cuts him off, "What. Did. You. DO!"
Jack raises his hands defensively to calm his clearly angry daughter, "I had a business proposition for him."
Sarah sighs exasperatedly and her hands wipe across her face in frustration, "Explain!"
Jack smiles, "Well, Charlie here agreed to do a couple of endorsements for Origin and…"
Sarah scowls at her dad, "And?"
Jack smiles, "Well, he may have signed on to be represented by the Walker Talent Agency…"
Sarah looks perplexed and turns to Chuck, "You did?"
Chuck shrugs with a confused expression, "Maybe… he is really persuasive…"
Sarah sighs, "Chuck if you weren't so cute I would kick you! Didn't anyone tell you to read something before signing it?!"
Chuck just smiles weakly.
Sarah then stops and turns to her dad, "Wait, what the hell is the Walker Agency?"
Jack smiles widely, "Ah! That is my surprise! I am retiring… of sorts…"
Sarah growls, "Dad…"
Jack smiles, "Fine! I decided that I wanted to see my girls more, but I wanted to keep using my… talents. So I decided what better way than to become Charlie boy's Agent. He is going to have sponsorship opportunities and appearances and the like and who better to protect him and help him earn a living? I have to make sure he can provide for my daughter after all." Jack finishes with wide smile at his daughter as Sarah blushes at the 'providing for' comment.
Sarah then shakes off the blush, "Let him out of it dad!"
Chuck then pipes in, "No Sarah it's fine. I needed an agent anyway and he is clearly good at what he does."
Jack then jumps in, "And I have room for one more star athlete… it would mean travel, fun photo shoots…" Jack smiles widely, "Together of course."
Sarah smiles at the idea, but suddenly a thought enters her mind and she has a light bulb moment as her face lights up in recognition, "Wait! Oh you did didn't you!"
Jack looks at Emma with a quizzical expression, "Did what darlin? You're going to have to give me more than that…"
Sarah looks at Jack with a predatory expression, "Oh you clever bugger! You were covering for me if I screwed up with Chuck… weren't you!"
Jack looks down quickly, "I don't know what you are talking about… I was looking for a quick buck…"
Sarah smirks, "Not buying it! You knew that if I screwed up getting Chuck back I would need a way and time to convince him. So you conned Chuck to make sure I would have a shot at him, didn't you!"
Jack sighs embarrassedly, "Fine! I wanted to make sure that you had another shot if things in California didn't go well. Your Mum told me how you buggered everything up so I figured why not have an insurance plan… and make a change of careers while I was at it."
Sarah smiles and walks over to her dad and hugs him tightly. She is fighting back tears as she says softly, "Thanks daddy."
Sarah regains her composure and turns to Chuck, "Are you okay with this… getting caught up with my crazy family…" Sarah looks at her feet nervously.
Chuck smiles widely and stands and walks over to her. He raises her downcast chin with his curled finger until their eyes met, "I'm not going anywhere."
End Flashback…
Chuck then jumps in, "Your dad made sure that we would have a chance to be together in the wake of all the crazy publicity of the Games. A few commercials and appearance are of little consequence if I get to spend time with you."
Sarah smiles, "The photo ops weren't so bad for Speedo and Commonwealth Bank in the pool and Ocean near Sydney… but the Subway ads…"
Chuck smiles before mock grimacing and shaking theatrically, "Let us never speak of that again!"
They both laugh and Sarah slaps his chest, "It wasn't so bad!"
Chuck smirks, "Hey, you never worked at the Buymore with Morgan, Lester, Jeff and Big Mike! All of which had Subway addictions…" Chuck looks at her mock seriously, "Subway addictions destroy families…"
They share a look before bursting into peals of laughter as they clutch one another tight in their cabin.
Chuck then recovers, "Besides… I get to see your country as we head out for these appearances and this photo op… where is it by the way?"
Sarah smiles, "We are going to Adelaide where we switch to 'the Ghan' which is the train that will take us north towards Darwin. We get off at Alice Springs and head to Uluru or Ayers Rock for the photo shoot. It is a famous landmark and should be a fun day driving out there and then hiking it."
Chuck smiles at her, "I'm sure it will be. And then?"
She smiles, "We head back to Adelaide where I can show you where we lived when I was younger and I can do the same when we take the train through the south to Melbourne all the way to Brisbane where we will have a few appearances and I can show off both cities. Then I plan to take you up to the Whitsunday's and the Barrier for some time at the beach."
Chuck smiles, "Sounds perfect…"
The Ghan Railway, Platinum Cabin
Between Adelaide and Alice Springs, Australia
November 3, 2012
15:04 hrs ACST
Chuck and Sarah had spent a few days in Adelaide touring the city and making appearances for several of their now many corporate sponsors. Little did they know that all the publicity and commercials were making the pair very wealthy. Neither had any idea of their newfound wealth - that was a little surprise that Jack and Emma were saving.
Soon they were back on the train, The Ghan this time, heading north into the Outback towards Alice Springs and Uluru.
For much of the day Chuck and Sarah remained in bed, but finally the pair decided to move from their cabin to the Queen Adelaide Restaurant car before planning to move to the Outback Explorer Lounge car for a few drinks.
Chuck and Sarah had just finished their wonderful shared meal of Steak and Barramundi, respectively, and various fresh vegetables.
As they sit digesting their top flight meal Chuck holds Sarah's hand as he looks around the rail car restaurant. The restaurant was comprised of numerous booths beneath large windows that display the stunning nature and wildlife that passed by as the train rushed north. Outside the world took on a reddish desert look that reminded Chuck of what a livable Mars might look like as the grasslands became brush land.
The booths in the restaurant were very comfortable with purple and beige cushions on the seats and a large table with a spotless white table cloth. The walls were beige and there were darker cloth shades accenting the windows, though covering the view was not something the couple was planning to do.
Chuck smiles at Sarah and takes her hand, "How about we go have a drink?"
Sarah smiles widely, "Sounds like a plan."
Outback Explorer Lounge…
Chuck and Sarah were sitting in the lounge after each grabbing a glass of champagne from the bartender and were now sitting in plush red leather chairs looking out at the passing scenery.
"Cheers Sarah."
Sarah smiles widely, "Cheers Chuck!"
As they clink their glasses and take a sip their eyes lock and they share a tender moment. They are both broken from their reverie by a loud shout from the other end of the lounge.
"OH MY GOD! Is that you!"
Chuck and Sarah froze and looked at one another, "Oh no…"
The mid-twenties brunette woman quickly walks right up to the couple. "It is you two! Oh my god this is so great!" She says loudly in her Aussie drawl.
Sarah, thinking fast says in a ditsy Texas Drawl, "Do we know y'all?"
Chuck's head snaps towards her rapidly as he looks at her with wide eyes. Sarah then kicks him softly and he gets the idea and adds his own Southern drawl, "Do we know you missy?"
The woman looks at them with an odd expression, "Uh… my name is Lou…" She pauses in thought for a moment and then her eyes light up after appraising the couple, "And I am not buying it!"
Sarah gulps and asks in the same false accent, "What'ya mean?"
Lou smiles, "You (pointing at Sarah) are Sarah Walker and you (pointing at Chuck) are Chuck Bartowski. You can't fool me; I am a huge fan… what's with the weird accents?"
Chuck nervously responds, "What accents?"
Lou chuckles and Sarah drops her head and replies in her native accent, "Can you please keep it down… we are trying to..."
Lou squeals and interrupts Sarah, "I knew it! Hey, can I have your autographs?" Now the entire lounge is looking at them curiously.
Sarah finishes her thought, though now pointless as their cover is blown, "…keep a low profile…"
Chuck jumps in, "No problem." Chuck then gives Sarah a wide smile, "Hey at least we are going to get a little peace after we finish with the photos at Uluru… right… did I pronounced that right?"
Sarah smiles at him warmly, "Yes and you are right. Okay grab a pen… time for another sore wrist… and not in a fun way either."
Sarah gives Chuck a saucy smirk and Chuck after a moment turns red at the implication.
He sputters and Sarah can only laugh as she says mirthfully despite the fan interruption, "Best trip ever!"
Uluru/Ayers Rock
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia
November 4, 2012
13:54 hrs AEST
Chuck and Sarah jump out of the older, yet very rugged four wheel drive Toyota Land Cruiser after it skids to a halt sending up dust as they arrive with a two man camera crew, in another Land Cruiser, in order to complete the mandated photo shoot.
Chuck and Sarah smile and hold hands as they look out at the landscape at a distance, which places Ayers Rock towering in the background of the pictures. The landscape is stunning with the red stone monolith rising up from the flat land of short green shrubs, contrasting amazingly with the stunning cloudless blue skies above.
Chuck and Sarah, without paying attention to the photographers hold one another's hands, while talking, pointing and embracing like normal.
The two cameramen smile and one quietly says to the other, "Perfect huh? They don't even realize we are here!"
The other cameraman chuckles, "Too right! We are getting great candid shots! None of that staged crap… though eventually we will need a couple of those…"
Chuck and Sarah finally break from their own little world and Chuck says to the cameramen, "Sorry guys… this is amazing, but we forgot you have a job to do."
One of the photographers smiles, "Not a worry mate! We got plenty of great shots. But maybe you and the lovely lady can pose for a couple shots?'
Sarah smiles, "Not a problem."
Later…
After finishing the panoramic photographs of Uluru/Ayers Rock in background of pictures of the athletes, the guides took Chuck and Sarah to climb the rock.
Chuck and Sarah first toured around the five mile circumference of the over a thousand foot sandstone monolith before they decided to climb to the top of the rock.
It's a clear day with a stunning blue sky. The weather is great and there are no high winds that otherwise would have precluded the climb. They take their time due to the heat and made sure to hydrate regularly, but being world class athletes they conquered the rock easily, leaving their poor two man camera crew in their dust, literally.
They were very careful and were sure to use the safety chain of the 'climbing track' that snakes up the path to the top of this impressive landmark.
Chuck and Sarah look on from the trail, their awe growing as the sunlight dances across the ravines and rock formations as they climb this mountain. Finally after braving the steep climb they finally arrived on the plateau and take in the stunning view.
The Outback stretches to the blue horizon as they look out and see the land before them. Chuck and Sarah share a private smile as they simply observe the stunning view. In the background the photographers observe quietly the couple and many more pictures.
Sarah looks over at Chuck and smiles and she says softly, "I'm on top of the world Chuck."
Chuck simply smiles and pulls her into a soft, but powerful kiss as the blue sky and the wonder of nature gives way in the background.
Finally after taking a picture of the couples embrace, one of the photographers pauses and pulls out a notepad and writes: 'On Top of the World.' He underlines it twice and smiles as he thinks, What a life!
Chuck and Sarah take a few posed photographs before carefully exploring the top of the rock, but mostly just taking in the breathtaking view. Finally they made their way back down in order to hike the national park and to explore a number of other sites. They were athletes after all and had had a break in their exercise regiment, of sorts, during the train rides. Though they both enjoyed the cardio workouts on the train they both were in agreement that a little hiking would be a nice change of pace as they explored the Outback.
The Southern Spirit, Platinum Cabin
Adelaide to Melbourne to Brisbane, Australia
November 7-11, 2012
9:54 hrs AEST
After the memorable trip to Uluru both Chuck and Sarah were back to their newly discovered favorite mode of transport – via a train's private cabin.
Once again the couple awoke in each other's arms, savoring the time and enjoying the warmth of being together and knowing just how close they came to missing out on this.
Sarah lifts her head from Chuck's chest and smiles up at him before softly saying, "I am so glad you didn't give up on me…:
Chuck can only smile as he strokes her hair, "How could I?"
They share a long and sensual kiss as they both melt into one another. Chuck then adds, "And miss out on this amazing trip? Remind me to thank your dad… I figured he was going bargain hunting when I heard we were taking the train."
Sarah giggles, "No, this is actually far more expensive then the alternatives of flying you know."
Chuck ponders, "Really?"
Sarah scoffs playfully, "Of course! Did you think a private cabin was the most cost effective way to travel? Don't worry, I love this!"
Chuck smiles, "Me too. We will have to thank your dad."
As Chuck is about to pull her into a kiss the mobile rings and Sarah huffs before grabbing it and checking the screen.
"Speak of the devil…"
Sarah answers the phone and puts it on speaker, "Hey dad, I have the phone on speaker here with Chuck."
Charlie my boy how are you?"
"I am doing great Mr. Walker."
Call me Jack. Okay kids I have some updates. We have additional interviews and a few other sponsor events that I want to schedule after you are done this leg in Melbourne. So come back to Sydney and we will get it all sorted out.
Sarah scoffs, "Sorry dad, but I have plans after we are done in Melbourne."
What do you mean? We have some great publicity to stir up! Darlin' we have a window here to really make you kids really famous.
Sarah replies, "Well I don't want that and I don't think Chuck really cares either. Don't worry about it, we will do some interviews, but this is not our life. We are not going to get lost in it and become some crazy celebrities. That's not us. Besides the only overwork we are going to do is for something we are keen on, like swimming."
"Or love," Chuck adds with a smile.
Sarah slaps his arm at how terribly corny it is but kisses him passionately before replying slightly dreamily, "Or love…"
Jack smirks into the phone, Well then where are you off to?
Sarah smiles mischievously, "We are heading to a childhood home of ours…"
Jack scratches his head and replies, Um… not giving me a lot to go on there darlin.' Which one? There were a few…
"That's the point! Chuck and I will have a little privacy and we will call when we are ready to come back to Sydney."
Fine… Have fun kids.
"Bye dad."
Bye darling. And bye Chuck, take care of her.
"I will. We'll talk to you later Jack."
Sarah hangs up the phone and with a smile moves across the bed in their cabin to the window. She swiftly opens it and readies to throw the mobile when Chuck moves quickly and stops her arm.
"Sarah what are you doing?"
Sarah looks at him innocently, "I can always replace the mobile, but I want us to be left alone."
Chuck smirks good naturedly, "Well beautiful, he is not a CIA… or I guess ASIS agent. I am pretty sure we can turn off the phone and take out the battery, rather than chuck the phone."
Sarah smiles, "My dad is clever though…"
Chuck smiles, "I think we will be fine. I doubt he has access to satellite tracking, but to be safe we will take out the battery. Now, come back to bed."
Sarah then pushes Chuck to the bed and leaps atop him in a fluid motion showing the skills of a gymnast more than a swimmer. She then saucily says, "I have some plans for you before we finish our train ride."
Chuck smiles, "Do you worst!"
Whitehaven Beach
Whitsunday Islands, Queensland, Australia
November 14, 2012
12:54 hrs AEST
They walk hand in hand, practically wrapped in one another's arms as they walk in the afternoon sun down the white sand beach. She is in a turquoise and white patterned sun dress and dark sunglasses, while he is in black board shorts and a white nerd heard t-shirt and dark aviator sunglasses.
Chuck kisses the side of her head and asks blissfully, "So this was your big surprise?"
Sarah sighs happily and nods, Come on… I want you to see this exact spot."
Chuck smiles as Sarah begins to run, joyfully pulling him along like a little girl enjoying a day at the beach.
Finally Sarah stops all of a sudden and goes quiet on a rather normal piece of beach. Chuck senses the importance and stays quiet waiting for her to speak. Sarah takes a deep breath and softly says, "We're here… this is it."
Chuck looks at her and wraps her in his arms as he rubs her arm softly up and down. He then turns his eyes to the sea before looking her in the eyes, "Beautiful…"
Sarah blushes as he looks only at her and she smiles before raising to her tiptoes to give him a kiss before laying her head on his chest and taking a deep breath.
After a long moment she pulls him down to sit on the beach. They sit in one another's arms and stare out at the surf rolling in as the sun reflects across the vast Ocean.
Finally Sarah speaks, "I met you because of this place…"
Chuck squeezes her, "What do you mean?"
Sarah looks at him and smiles, "Remember my story of swimming at the beach? That perfect moment and then me asking for my family to have a pool?"
Chuck nods and smiles, "Of course, but… wait…"
Sarah nods, "This is the exact spot where I fell in love with swimming…"
She sighs, "It was a long time coming, but it led me… to you…"
Chuck can only hold her tight as they both sit together in silent reverence.
Chuck finally says softly, "I love this place."
Sarah smiles, "Yeah?"
"Yeah. Besides being beautiful and a lot like my beach, I mean our beach in Malibu… this is what brought you to London… what brought you to me. How could I not love it?"
Sarah simply leans her head on his shoulders, "I don't ever want this to end…"
Chuck smiles and says simple, "It never has to…"
Chuck and Sarah lock eyes and Sarah asks in a quiet voice, "One day… will you show me the cabin where you discovered your gift? You know from the story you told me of Ellie trying to kill you for murdering her hair dryer?"
Chuck smiles, "Next time we are in California, I promise."
They share a passionate and loving kiss before holding one another and staring out at the ocean.
Later…
As the sun begins to set and the sky is awash with a brilliant hue of reds and oranges, Chuck can only think that he agrees – he never wants this to end. He thinks to himself, We maybe have only known one another for a few months and we have a lot to go through before we get there… but one day…
Sarah meanwhile is thinking, It was fate that I would finally meet someone who would protect my heart. I will do everything I can to keep this… as long as he will have me. I am never letting him go. It was fate… I can see it now. Chuck's life, my life could have been so different if not for such little things like a trip to a cabin or a trip to the beach. If not for an irate sister forcing a swim or a lonely girl experiencing the ocean we may never have met. Hell, we missed one another so many times only to meet in London… it was fate. Fate binds us and fate will see us through…
She kisses Chuck and is about to say something when he takes the words from her mouth:
"I love you Sarah… Always have and I always will…"
Sarah smiles as a tear runs down her porcelain cheek, "I love you too… more than you know."
And as the sun set, just as it had in California, Chuck and Sarah shared not only a kiss, but also a moment. Fate had finally won out and two souls became one. There would be challenges and life is never easy, but with great family and friends they knew their lives we just beginning.
Finally together…
Finally…
AN2: I hope you like this epilogue. I had a tough time deciding if this should have been the ending, but in the end decided that it was best as a post-finally getting together scene of Chuck and Sarah's lives after London – which will be a common theme that binds the epilogues.
Also, I am not touching the climbing issue of Uluru – I get that it is frowned upon, but I mean no offense by this to Aussies and the Aborigines et al. Would there likely be a media storm? Probably, but the goal here was to paint a picture of a trip to a landmark I would love to see one day. So no offense intended.
I really hope this was enjoyable. It adds to the build up the story proper and hopefully gives you a nice look at their life after London. Next up is years in the future - Epilogue 2 is entitled:
Interviews in Brazil.
****Also, if there are story strings that you really want to see resolved let me know! I think I got most of the main ones and the final 2 chapters will provide insights into the other relationships I created though Chuck and Sarah will be the main staple till the end.
