Tense, hurtful and sweet. I'm glad you didn't end it in a cliffhanger!
Thanks for keeping them both alive for now. Seriously, don't you dare kill them both off. And keep up the magnificent work!
I'm just interested in one: how many sequels you intend to make?
Author's Response: No, not even I am that cruel to end it in a cliffhanger. I don't anticipate actually killing off either of them in thise story. I think they're too dear to me to do that.
I'll make as many sequels as necessary to help them both. At this point, I think this will be the last story in the series. Unless something totally unexpected happens or people clamour for more.
