No.
Willow betrayed him.
Ari revealed the truth.
Yes, Thanh was the architect, but I believe her feelings are true.
What she did was evil, yes.
But given everything we’ve learned?
Don’t do this.

Don’t do this.

I disagree. This needed to happen. No matter her reasons, no matter the past trauma she's dealing with, Thanh set out to humiliate Dylan to the entire school and to destroy Willow along with him. Dylan needed to find that out. He can't have another relationship built on a lie.

Maybe he'll forgive her, maybe not. I'm on tenterhooks, waiting to see how this will end. Bring on the finale!

You’re right

All I'll say is that Dylan and Thanh will eventually have more in common than they ever thought they would...

Generally, I love dark/nihilistic/sad endings in my media.
But because of the subject matter here, downer/sad endings feel especially ‘dystopian’.

Yes.
I understand the goal of these stories is to deliver on the ‘embarrassment’ aspect, but there can still be a light at the end of the tunnel.

The Final Act

The bitter, relentless wind howled through the sprawling grounds of North Springs High School, an invisible force whipping through the gnarled, reaching branches of the ancient oak tree that stood as a silent sentinel over the sports field. Beneath its sprawling, protective canopy, the damp grass was cold, presenting a stark, unforgiving contrast to the burning, chaotic intensity of the emotions swirling in the air. Dylan stood entirely frozen. He looked down at the broken, trembling figure of Thanh.

She was a heap at his feet, her small, lithe frame wracked with hysterical, breathless, guttural sobs that seemed to tear themselves from the deepest recesses of her chest. The remnants of her confession - a torrent of raw, unfiltered agony - hung in the heavy, suffocating quiet of the school, vibrating with a shocking, world-altering resonance. She had admitted to the unthinkable. She had confessed to the cruel, calculated manipulation, the deliberate sabotage that had systematically dismantled his fragile sense of security. She had orchestrated his public humiliation, leveraging his deepest, most agonizing anatomical shame to isolate him, all in a desperate, twisted bid to ensure he had no one else to turn to but her. It was a staggering, complex, terrifying web of devotion and destruction, driven by a fierce, protective, yet entirely misguided love borne of profound historical trauma, and raw, unfiltered emotion.

Outwardly, Dylan’s face remained a mask of perfect, classical neutrality. He didn't flinch. He didn't speak. He didn't offer a single micro-expression of the hurricane tearing through his mind. He simply absorbed the sheer magnitude of her words, the agonizing, undeniable reality of what she had done. But internally, the very foundation of his reality was undergoing a seismic, catastrophic shift. He was engaging in a rapid, almost forensic psychological analysis of the girl weeping before him. The anger that had been simmering in his subconscious for weeks, a toxic, corrosive cocktail of betrayal, public humiliation, and burning shame, began to slowly, inexplicably cool. The rage was replaced by a devastating clarity.

He looked at Thanh. Really looked at her. He saw the violent, uncontrollable trembling of her shoulders, the way she clutched at the damp earth with her small fingers as if trying to anchor herself against a hurricane only she could feel. He realized, with a sudden, breathtaking certainty, that she really had loved him from the very beginning. From the moment they had met in Mrs. Greenwell's class, she had looked past his flaws. She had seen the physical insecurities that had tormented him for years, the microscopic anomaly that had made him an outcast, and had instantly, unequivocally known he was the one for her. Her actions, though catastrophic, manipulative, and undeniably cruel, were not inherently malicious. They were a result of a terrifying, all-consuming, suffocating desperation. She wasn’t a cruel girl. She was hurt. Broken. Confused.

And in love.

Desperation, Dylan realized in that quiet, suspended moment beneath the oak tree, was a highly corrosive acid. It ate away at a person’s soul, eroding their morality, blinding them to reason, and driving them to psychological extremes. It made people, even good people, even survivors of unspeakable horrors, do terrible, unforgivable things to the people they loved the most. But as he stared down at Thanh, a sober realization washed over him, completely re-writing the narrative of his own victimhood: doing a bad thing out of desperation did not inherently make someone a bad person. It made them human. And who was he, a boy who had hidden behind lies and false bravery, to judge the survival mechanisms of a girl who had survived a war?

A heavy, shuddering sigh escaped Dylan’s lips, a physical, tangible release of the resentment and bitterness he had been carrying like a stone in his chest. He didn't hate her. The revelation startled him, blooming in his chest like a sudden, warm light, but it was the absolute truth. He felt a wave of pity and empathy so profound, so deep, that signalled something in himself. He understood her love, its fractured, chaotic geometry, its suffocating, desperate weight. He understood it, because he loved her, too.

"Thanh," he said, his voice soft, a low, resonant murmur that barely cut through the whistling, bitter wind.

She flinched violently at the sound of her name, her weeping intensifying into a choked, breathless wail. She squeezed her dark eyes shut, terrified of the impending verbal execution. "I know," she choked out, her voice raw, ragged, and thick with her heavy accent. "You hate me. I know you hate me. I am monster. I ruin everything!"

Dylan slowly, deliberately crouched down, the damp cold of the grass seeping immediately through the fabric of his jeans. He reached out, his long fingers gently but firmly grasping her trembling shoulders. "Look at me, Thanh."

She shook her head frantically side to side, burying her face in her hands, her jet-black hair falling in a tangled curtain around her face. She was entirely terrified of the disgust, the venomous revulsion she was certain she would find in his eyes. But Dylan’s grip was firm, unyielding, yet strangely, incredibly gentle. He applied a steady pressure, guiding her up, refusing to let her hide in the dark, until she was forced to raise her head and meet his gaze.

Thanh gasped, the breath catching painfully in her throat. There was no hatred in his dark eyes. There was no icy rejection, no cruel satisfaction, no desire for vengeance. Instead, there was a deep, sorrowful, absolute understanding that completely and utterly shattered her final, lingering defences.

"I don't hate you," Dylan said quietly, each word carrying the heavy, undeniable weight of an absolute truth. "What you did to Willow, what you did to me...it was wrong...." He paused, his thumbs moving slowly, lightly brushing away the hot, salty tears that were streaming down her flushed, olive cheeks. "But I understand why you did it. You were scared. You were scared of losing me before you even had me."

Thanh stared at him, her chest heaving in shallow, rapid increments, completely taken aback by the magnificent decency and calm, unwavering forgiveness in his voice. She had expected rage, condemnation, a violent and permanent end to their story. She hadn't expected to be seen with such beautiful clarity.

"You...you forgive me?" she whispered, her voice trembling with sheer disbelief, as if she were speaking a foreign language. "After everything I did?”

"We’re both scarred, Thanh," Dylan replied, a melancholy, beautiful smile touching the corners of his lips. "We’ve both been through things that hurt. Thanh, I don’t just forgive you. I love you. More than you understand…"

The words struck Thanh like a physical, life-saving blow. The remnants of her manipulative instincts, the tough, calculating, supercilious exterior she had built brick-by-brick to survive the harsh, predatory realities of her life, completely crumbled into dust. She was humbled, brought to her knees not by force or dominance, but by a radical, unmerited, breathtaking forgiveness. In that moment, as she looked at the boy whose life she had nearly ruined, she felt a surge of devotion so intense, so pure, and so overwhelming that it physically ached in her bones. She belonged to him, entirely and unequivocally.

She stared into his eyes, her mind racing frantically, searching for a way to adequately express the magnitude of her gratitude. She needed to show him that her commitment to him was now absolute, stripped of all deception, all manipulation, and all fear. Words were entirely insufficient. An idea began to form in the chaotic, brilliant depths of her mind - a wild, brazen, terrifying idea that defied every rule of the society they lived in. It was a thought so extreme, so inherently scandalous, it made her dizzy, but as she looked at Dylan's kind, forgiving face, she knew it was the only possible path to true redemption.

"Dylan," she breathed, her voice suddenly gaining a fervent, almost feverish strength, her dark eyes locking onto his with a burning, unshakeable intensity. "The spring exhibition. Next week."

Dylan frowned, his brow furrowing in confusion at the sudden, jarring shift in the conversation. "What about it?"

"Everyone be there," Thanh continued, her eyes wide, blazing with a new, dangerous, and incredibly determined light. "Mrs. Greenwell, parents, Principal, entire school! Everyone who hear Willow. Everyone who laugh at you in hallway. Everyone who think they know us. I want show them..."

"Show them what, Thanh?" Dylan asked, his voice laced with a sudden, instinctual apprehension.

"That I have nothing to hide from you now. That…I love you." She swallowed hard, her small hands reaching out to grip his wrists with a surprising, desperate strength. "When we on stage...I show them everything. I show them scars. I show them me. Just like they see you…naked"

Dylan stared at her, the wind whipping his dark hair across his face, his mouth slightly parted in sheer, unadulterated shock. The sheer audacity of her suggestion left him completely speechless. It was an act of supreme, unthinkable exhibitionism. It was a literal social suicide mission that would undoubtedly lead to immediate expulsion, disgrace, and a catastrophic scandal that would rock North Springs High School to its very core. It was madness. Pure, unadulterated madness. But as he looked into her dark, pleading eyes, he didn't see madness. He saw a desperate, beautiful, and utterly poetic need for atonement. He saw a girl offering him the ultimate vulnerability, willing to sacrifice her own dignity, her own standing, to heal the deep, agonizing wounds she had caused him. It was a twisted, chaotic justice.

A slow, fierce determination began to build in Dylan's chest. He knew that, if she went through with this, he couldn’t let her face that firing squad alone. If she was willing to step into the fire for him, he would stand in the flames beside her. However, a brilliant, protective instinct flared in his mind. If he told her he would join her, she might try to stop him, to protect his already-battered reputation. She needed to believe this was her sacrifice, her grand gesture, right up until the very last possible second.

"Thanh," Dylan said softly, his grip tightening on her shoulders, his voice projecting a calm, steady authority that masked his hidden, thrilling resolve. "That is...that is insane."

Thanh’s eyes swelled with determination; she wouldn’t take no for an answer. "Dylan, I do it. For us. You not stop me…”

“You…you’re serious, aren’t you?” Dylan stammered, taken aback completely by just how far Thanh was willing to go to atone. She nodded back, furiously.

"Then listen," Dylan continued, his voice dropping to a low, resonant timber that demanded her absolute attention. "If you’re gonna do this…I’ll be there with you. So you won’t be up there alone…”

“No! You need let me do this! This my problem to fix!” Thanh shot back, pleadingly.

“Thanh, I can’t leave you up there alone. Don’t worry, I’ll stay by the side. They won’t even notice me. But I’ll be there with you…” he reasoned back.

“Ok…but how we do it? Need to figure out plan” Thanh replied, an appreciative smile creeping onto her lips.

Dylan stood there momentarily, his eyes darting around as he frantically wracked his brain for a plan that would work. Thanh looked up at him, her eyes searching for answers, searching for atonement, searching for anyway to prove her love for him. After a minute or so, Dylan offered a suggestion.

“We’ll tell Mrs. Greenwell I’m doing a live sketch of you. Then, when you stand to pose…that’s when you can do it…" he replied softly, unsure of his own plan and whether it’d actually work.

Thanh gasped – not of sorrow this time, but of an overwhelming, euphoric, and victorious love. She threw her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder. "That perfect! Thank you, Dylan. Thank you. I show you. I prove it."

The Prelude

The next morning, the sun rose over North Springs, casting long, deceivingly peaceful shadows across the campus. Dylan and Thanh walked into Mrs. Greenwell's office, presenting a masterpiece of theatrical misdirection. They approached her with the sober, highly professional, and deeply dedicated demeanour of two avant-garde artists pitching a thesis.

Dylan proposed a live-action, rapid-fire sketching exercise for the absolute climax of the exhibition. He would set up his easel on the main stage and sketch Thanh, fully clothed in a standard dress, in a timed, high-pressure demonstration of technique and observation. They pitched it with thick, academic jargon, calling it a performance art piece exploring the "transience of the human form," the "velocity of perception," and the "intimacy of the artist's gaze under the scrutiny of the public eye."

Mrs. Greenwell, a woman who prided herself on nurturing the eccentric and pushing the boundaries of North Springs’ prestigious artistic reputation, was utterly captivated. She peered over her spectacles, her eyes alight with academic excitement. She saw the potential for a legacy-defining moment for her department, a high-minded display of technical skill and emotional maturity that would dazzle the school board.

"It's bold, Dylan. Incredibly bold," she commended, tapping her silver pen against her mahogany desk. "A live performance under those harsh stage lights will be incredibly high pressure. It requires immense focus. Are you certain you're both up to it?"

"We both 100% certain, Mrs. Greenwell," Thanh replied, her voice smooth as glass, completely belying the frantic, terrified, thrilling beating of her heart.

The week leading up to the exhibition was an agonizing, suffocating blur of electric tension and secret anticipation. Every time they passed each other in the bustling hallways, every time their eyes met across the crowded cafeteria, a silent, thrilling, high-voltage current passed between them. They were holding a live grenade, walking through the corridors of a school that had no idea the pin had already been pulled.

Thanh and Dylan kept their true intentions perfectly secret from everyone, most notably Carly and Robin. They’d even kept them in the dark about Ari’s letter. The two girls were completely clueless about the explosive stunt. Carly had innocently assumed it was just a standard, high-pressure sketching exercise. Robin had studiously praised their 'academic bravery' for doing a live demonstration. They had absolutely no idea that the performance they were so eagerly anticipating was a meticulously constructed Trojan Horse.

Thanh’s nerves were a jagged, relentless physical sensation. She couldn't eat; the cafeteria food tasted like ash. She barely slept, spending her nights staring at her ceiling, visualizing the blinding lights, the sea of faces, the inevitable, deafening roar of outrage. The reality of what she had committed to terrified her to the very marrow of her bones, yet the thought of backing down, of failing Dylan after he had shown her such profound grace, was entirely, fundamentally impossible. She had promised him her soul, and she would deliver it on a stage.

The Night

The night of the exhibition finally arrived, descending upon the school with a thick, palpable atmosphere of community anticipation. The main hall of North Springs was entirely transformed. The basketball courts had been covered in pristine, white modular display boards. The harsh, headache-inducing fluorescent lights had been killed, replaced by dramatic, moody, focused spotlights that illuminated the student artwork in a sophisticated, gallery-like glow. The air was thick and heavy with the smell of cheap white wine from the parent's refreshment table, expensive, overpowering perfumes, industrial floor wax, and the nervous, buzzing chatter of hundreds of parents, students, teachers, and local dignitaries.

Dylan and Thanh stood in the cramped, dusty confines of the makeshift dressing room located just behind the heavy velvet curtains of the main stage. The muffled, oceanic roar of the crowd seeped through the thick fabric, a constant, terrifying reminder of the audience awaiting them. Thanh was shaking uncontrollably, her teeth chattering audibly despite the stuffy warmth of the small room. She wore a simple, elegant, light blue dress that buttoned down the front, her jet-black hair falling gently across her face.

Dylan reached out, taking her icy, trembling hands in his large, warm palms. "Are you ready?" he asked, his voice a calm, deep anchor in the violent storm of her anxiety.

She looked up at him, her dark eyes wide, scared, but burning with an absolute, unshakeable devotion. "I terrified," she whispered, her voice cracking. "But I love you. I ready."

"I love you, too," Dylan replied softly, his heart swelling with a fierce, protective pride. "Let's show them."

The stage manager, a stressed-looking senior with a clipboard, poked his head around the doorframe. "You're up, guys. Go break a leg."

The heavy, crimson curtains parted with a low, mechanical rumble. A blinding, singular, high-intensity white spotlight hit the exact centre of the stage, leaving the rest of the massive, cavernous hall bathed in dramatic darkness.

Dylan walked out first, carrying his heavy wooden easel and a large, pristine pad of charcoal paper. He set it up with meticulous, agonizing slowness, adjusting the height and the angle, letting the tension build in the room. The audience hushed, a polite, curious murmur of anticipation rippling through the massive crowd.

Then, Thanh stepped out from the wings. She walked to the centre of the piercing light, standing perfectly still, a lone, beautiful figure in a sea of darkness. She looked out into the void, entirely unable to see the faces of the audience, but feeling the heavy, scrutinizing weight of a thousand eyes pressing down upon her skin.

Dylan picked up his thick stick of willow charcoal. He looked at her. For ten long, excruciating seconds, the only sound in the entire hall was the sharp, rhythmic scratching of charcoal on paper as Dylan drew the preliminary outline of her shoulder.

Then, Dylan stopped. He lowered the charcoal. He looked directly into Thanh's eyes, and gave the slightest, almost imperceptible nod.

Thanh didn't hesitate. She didn't allow herself a single fraction of a second to second-guess her decision. Her small hands moved swiftly, decisively to the top button of her dress.

It was rapid, practiced, and fiercely defiant. She undid the buttons in a blur of motion. She shrugged her shoulders, and the fabric fell away, pooling around her ankles in a dark heap. In seconds, she had kicked off her sensible shoes and stripped away her plain white undergarments.

The audience’s collective breath caught in a massive, vacuum-like gasp that seemed to suck all the oxygen out of the enormous room. Time seemed to instantaneously suspend itself. Mrs. Greenwell, seated proudly in the front row, dropped her plastic cup of wine; it hit the hardwood floor with a dull thud that seemed to break the hypnotic spell.

Thanh stood rigid, her small, lithe frame trembling almost imperceptibly, her chin tilted upward in an unbreakable posture of defiance. Her olive skin, naturally smooth and youthful, was abruptly interrupted by the topography of her trauma. Once barely visible in the dim light of Dylan’s bedroom, the thick, jagged keloid scars, raised and distressingly pale against her warm complexion, crawled like angry, calcified vines across her abdomen. They wrapped brutally around the delicate cage of her ribs, puckering and pulling at the surrounding tissue before disappearing down the severe, protruding line of her spine. They were a graphic, undeniable map of a war she had barely survived - horror immortalized in human flesh. Above the brutalized canvas of her stomach, her small, unassuming, budding breasts rose and fell with her rapid, shallow breaths, the rigid peaks of her areolas tightening in response to the freezing, air-conditioned temperature of the hall. Her narrow hips, her slender legs, were locked tight. Stripped of everything, she appeared terrifyingly small, yet her entire naked form radiated a fierce, animalistic power.

The Shared Sacrifice

Before anyone could shout, before the panicked administrators standing in the wings could process what was happening and rush the stage, Dylan moved. Thanh, standing completely naked in the spotlight, her chest heaving, closed her eyes, preparing to face the firing squad alone. But then, she heard the rustle of fabric. She opened her eyes.

Dylan had dropped his charcoal. He had stepped out from behind the protective shield of his wooden easel. His hands flew to the buttons of his own crisp, white shirt.

Thanh gasped, her eyes widening in sheer, unadulterated shock. "Dylan! What you doing?!" she hissed, her voice barely carrying over the rising murmur of the crowd.

He didn't answer. He stripped with a rhythm that perfectly matched the frantic energy she had just displayed. He shed his shirt, his trousers, his underwear. He was shedding the skin of his social status, shedding his agonizing insecurities, shedding the crushing, suffocating shame of his anatomy that had defined his entire existence. Within seconds, his clothes joined hers on the floor. He stepped forward, entering the perimeter of the blinding white spotlight, standing completely, fully naked beside her.

His pale skin pulled taut over the lean, elegant musculature of a natural athlete. The harsh, downward angle of the stage lights defined the sharp, hollowed V of his pelvis, the rigid, structured lines of his abdomen, and the broad set of his shoulders. From the waist up, he possessed the idealized, perfectly sculpted proportions of a classical Greek marble statue, beautiful and untouchable.

But it was the absolute focal point of his anatomy, the devastating, deeply private secret that had fuelled Thanh's desperate manipulation, that the spotlight now laid bare with cruel, absolute indifference. Resting at the base of his smooth groin was his microscopic anomaly; a profound, agonizing underdevelopment that left him entirely exposed and stripped of all conventional masculinity. It was a stark, jarring betrayal of the rest of his elegant physique - small, vulnerable, and entirely unprotected against the harsh glare of a thousand judgmental eyes. The contrast was breathtakingly raw.

The thrill that shot through Dylan’s veins was absolute, an intoxicating, explosive rush of pure adrenaline and profound, irreversible psychological liberation. It was a raw, unfiltered, incredibly profound expression of love and defiance that the audience - and Thanh - were utterly, entirely unprepared for. Together, they stood perfectly still, their naked bodies together a symbol of their shared pain and love. The unapologetic display of their most profound physical shames, the brutal, disfiguring history carved into Thanh's skin, and the devastating, emasculating inadequacy of Dylan's form, anchored them to the hardwood floor of the stage. They were no longer just high school students; in their absolute, graphic nakedness, they had become a living, breathing masterpiece of vulnerability, perfectly flawed and devastatingly real.

In the second row, Carly and Robin sat frozen in shock. Carly’s jaw hung slack, her hands flying to cover her mouth as her eyes bulged behind her thick black glasses, the sheer, brazen audacity of the act completely short-circuiting her. Beside her, Robin was equally paralyzed by the scandalous reality unfolding before her.

Further back in the shadows of the hall, Ari Stanton watched the spectacle with a profound, terrifying awe. Ari had previously manipulated Dylan's image with her camera to devastating effect. She stared at the stage, utterly defeated. She realized in that breathless moment that Dylan and Thanh had captured themselves in a way her Polaroid camera never could. They hadn't just exposed themselves; they had weaponized their vulnerability, turning their deepest shames into an invincible armour.

And standing near the exit doors, clinging to the heavy velvet drapes, was Willow Calloway. She saw the boy she had once idolized, and then feared, completely liberate himself. Fresh, hot tears streamed down her cheeks - not tears of disgust or terror, but of a profound, melancholy understanding. She finally saw the unbreakable, terrifying depth of the bond between Dylan and Thanh, a chaotic, beautiful love that she could never hope to penetrate or understand.

As they stood there, both totally, defiantly naked in the centre of the blistering white lights, the student body finally erupted. It wasn't the polite, confused applause of an avant-garde art exhibition; it was a cacophony of sheer chaos and moral outrage.

Parents gasped in horror, mothers frantically shielding their younger children's eyes, fathers shouting in anger. The Principal was screaming into a walkie-talkie at the edge of the stage, his face a mask of purple fury. But overriding it all was the deafening, cruel roar of the students.

The herd mentality, the vicious, predatory nature of the high school ecosystem, seized the moment. Random teenagers surged toward the front of the stage, their voices sharp, piercing, and laced with venom.

"Look at the mini dick!" a senior boy's voice shouted from the darkness, a brutal, mocking reference to Dylan’s microscopic anatomy, the very secret that had caused this entire saga.

"Ew! Look at those things! Gross!" a popular girl screamed, pointing a manicured finger at the jagged, raised, pale scars that crisscrossed Thanh’s abdomen - the brutal, permanent physical remnants of her horrific childhood journey.

The insults flew like a volley of poisoned arrows, vicious, targeted, and intended to destroy their spirits.

But standing there under the blistering, unforgiving heat of the spotlight, a miraculous psychological phenomenon occurred. The mockery didn't land. It didn't pierce their skin. It washed over them like meaningless static from a broken, distant radio.

Dylan looked at Thanh. Thanh looked at Dylan. In that blinding heat, under the gaze of a thousand judgmental, horrified, screaming eyes, the world outside the perimeter of their singular spotlight simply ceased to exist. They saw the terror, the shock, and the overwhelming, breathtaking beauty in each other's eyes. They saw absolute, terrifying trust. They saw a shared survival.

Slowly, deliberately, ignoring the chaos raging just feet away from them, they reached out across the small space between them. Their fingers met, intertwined, and locked together in a fierce, unbreakable, white-knuckled grip.

In that point of physical contact, something profound and magical manifested in the air around them. They generated a shield - a protective, invisible, impenetrable aura of mutual love, radical acceptance, and soulful understanding. The screams of the outraged crowd, the frantic threats of expulsion from the Principal, the cruel, pointing fingers, and the vicious laughter...it all bounced off them, entirely powerless against the sheer magnitude of what they had just done for each other. They saw the teachers rushing to the stage with rapidly procured towels, ready to shuffle the two kids off to the Principal’s office for either suspension or expulsion.

They didn’t care.

They were not two scared, broken children in a high school hall anymore. They were a singular, defiant entity. They were entirely freed from the constraints, the petty judgments, and the shallow concerns of a world that could never possibly understand the agonizing depth of their bond. They had stripped away the lies, the fear, the manipulation, and the shame.

And standing there, hand-in-hand in the chaotic, screaming silence of their own perfect, beautiful understanding, they had finally, truly, found each other.

Beautiful
Simply beautiful.
I know you said this was the final chapter, but I’d love to know how they come out of this-
The repercussions-
The final resolution.
At such a young age, it’s hard to believe they’d stay together into the future,
But given the trauma-
Such a bond isn’t unbelievable.
It’s desirable.

[Nonox]

This has been an amazing story! Love to see what you in store for the future!

[Jonjon2]

It turned into a really lovely story. I doubt many of us would have predicted that outcome. I look forward to more of your stories!
