A.N.: Well, writing an epilogue to this story turned out waaaay harder than I was expecting it to be. Apparently I'm a lot better at the pre-romance stuff. Anyway. This is soort of the epilogue to Unforeseen Consequences, but it's also kind of a bridge to the sequel (which in hindsight was always going to happen). I'm not sure when I'll start posting that yet - I don't have it all that fleshed out in my head at the moment, so it could be a bit of a wait. So far I only really have the two earlier tries I made at writing this epilogue, which fit much better as parts of a chapter than a "round things off" section. The result is that the epilogue is indeed pretty short, but it does actually do what I wanted it to. Even if it does also lead into a sequel I hadn't expected!
Still, here we are, at the end of the first fic I've actually completed! Who would have thought I could do it? The irony that the first thing I complete is in the genre I find hardest to write is not lost on me. Oh well. Now that Christmas is out of the way, hopefully I will find it easier to settle back into writing again.
And of course, I hope you have enjoyed this story! Please let me know what you've thought - honestly, I've been kind of blown away by some of the reviews people have left, so thank you all!
