Wow... this was a great ending. How did you do that? <g> I was suspecting a memory-wipe of some sort, and thinking how sad that would be, but I like the way you've got it.
Of course, seeing Silas meet Petal was the highlight of this part
Love that Lois recognized the look, and that Madge was so quick to field a hint!
This whole story has been amazing, CC. I like a lot of fanfic, but there are only a few that impress me this much. Way to go, and write more!
