Epilogue

"But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, / All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end." - William Shakespeare, Sonnet 30

Whelp, to make a long story short, I did make it home, safe and sound. After graduation, which I thankfully did not miss, I went off to see the world, just like I said I would—in the company of Mom and my best friend, Kristen Rivers. Mom married a British architect, Edward, on one of our first visits and has been happily wed since. Kristen went home after our third year of sight-seeing to do the whole college thing, and I hear she's majoring in chemical engineering. Snooze.

As for me, I finally settled down too, in India. Now you may be wondering, "Where in blue blazes did she get all the money to see the world?"

Well, let's just say my story makes for an interesting read.
