What a wonderful ending. I did find the last chapter after searching. It is always good to read the finale. And what a finale it was. Cancer is such a tragic disease. I hope she begins to feel better and will be a happy bride. It sure sounds like a joyous ending!

Thank you for the following this novel. I appreciate.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, I seem to have missed out on a pretty fun story, Barbara. I truly wish I could make FanStory more of a priority (as it once was) but there's simply too much else to do with my time these days, and I've had too many problems with my account to put FanStory at the top of my list anymore... *sigh* Anyway, well done, as always. Congratulations on another finished book. :)

A wonderful chapter, Barbara. I'm so happy Gabriel asked Katherine to marry him. I thought when she put her hand over her mouth as Gabriel popped the question, that she was going to throw up, lol. Very clever. I'm glad she didn't. :) Loved it!

Thank you. I'm sorry you can in on the last post. I do have another novel I started a few weeks back. If interested, you might want to follow it. I do write romance that some men aren't into, but I do have a large number of men followers. My romance always has a back story. Not just boy meets girl, they fall in love, and get married. I'm not into that.

I've been following along quite regularly. I will check out the other novel. Thank you.

Barb,
Oh, yeah!! I was hoping this is how it would work out. I also love the fact that you left it here. Where the reader can fill in the blanks about their future. How smart you are. I am always so impressed with you! You inspire me to continue my novels. I have no idea how you continue without even a break between storylines. So crazy impressive!
Nice work!

I want to leave it here, but many readers have requested an epilogue. I really don't want to do it. Thank you for the kind review.

That's okay. They'll soon be involved in your next story and let it go. You are the author. The characters are talking to YOU. You are the only one who understands these folks and what they'd prefer.
Our lead MC, doesn't like a lot of attention. We get that. I don't see her as the kind who would want people watching her during these more humbling and scary moments. I like the idea of leaving them to their privacy. Those of us with good hearts know they'll most likely be fine. And in the worst case, everything has been planned for. I think you've tied up all the loose ends and placed a sweet bow on top. Those who want something different can write their own. ha

WHAT! Are you kidding me? You made me wait all this time for them to get together and now I'm cheated out of a wedding, a honeymoon, and the anti-barf medicine? I want another chapter!!!

I've had an outcry for an epilogue. I don't do them, but I have a feeling I'll have to this time. LOL Thank you.
Comment from Ric Myworld
Kissing someone who has been throwing up all night, I'd say it definitely must be love. LOL. But I'm sure she had brushed and gargled before coming down stairs. Right before the kisses, and back to puking. Thanks for sharing.

At last! You've been teasing us with this prospect long enough! LOL
It looks as if Gabriel has been planning this moment for quite some time and has covered all the bases.

I think Gabriel wanted to be married a while back. Thank you.
Comment from Pam (respa)
A gorgeous ring. Did you notice it even had a "K" inscribed on it?
I am glad Gabe and Katherine are getting married, but I am sorry the story is ending. I have really been enjoying it. It would have been wonderful to see some of their life together. You did a great job with the characterization. I will miss these characters, but thank you for sharing what you did. It was very good.
I am also glad it didn't end in a different way. Thanks for that, too.

Comment from Wendy G
Oh good! They'll be married. The in-laws will never get the boys, and they have two sets of supportive parents. This is a most enjoyable and happy chapter. I just want to know that she will survive the cancer, and there will be a happy ending all round. Well written!

Some of my readers have ask that I do an epilogue. I've never done one, but this novel may need it. Thank you.
