Epilogue

At two months the gas in Susanna's eyes finally absorbed. She went back to the eye doctor for an evaluation. As he had so many times before Spencer waited while Nina went in with her. Finally the nurse came out. "Dr. Reid?"

The doctor just happened to be at the nurses' station. "Well there's good news and bad news."

"Oh?"

"The bad news is that we were only able to correct her vision to 20/300. And she still has a number of scotomas, spots where the nerves were damaged, where she can't see anything. Now that might improve in time but I doubt it will improve all that much."

Spencer winced. His vision without his contacts was 20/300. She would still be legally blind at that measurement, unable to drive and unable to read normal text. But she'd be able to see her way around the house, be able to find objects and even navigate without her cane. And she'd be able to see traffic, a huge help in the city. "What's the good news?"

"That's a lot better than the 20/1000 she used to have. And we were able to fully restore her color vision." The doctor opened the door to the exam room for her.

Susanna's eyes brightened as soon as he walked in the door. "Spencer! I can see your smile!"

Note: And so ends this much of Spencer and Susanna's story. Like most of my pairings I can say that they might be back but I'm not certain when or how. For all of those who are thinking "Wait! Marriage! Sex!", I really try to keep the graphic stuff out of my rated T stories, but I'm sure anything else I do with them will be rated M.

I'd like to thank my lovely beta reader REIDFANATIC for all her help.

My next story will be interactive again, but since that's not allowed on this site to play along you have to follow the link at the top of my profile. If you really don't want to go there you will be able to read it here but there will be a two day publishing lag to allow others to play and you won't be able to play along. The first four chapters are going up as soon as I publish this one.

Thank you all for reading
