Epilogue...

Helen slides naked from bed and shrugs into her black satin robe.

At the Sanctuary, the old Sanctuary, she never would have been able to get away with walking around in such a flimsy garment with winter right around the corner. The old Sanctuary, despite fireplaces in nearly every room and a state of the art HVAC system, was still

Hey, just had to call in and say thank you for a wonderful story I've just spent reading, on a lovely Sunday morning, in bed, with a cuppa tea (um, two actually) :)

Despite knowing absolutely nothing about Sanctuary (just ask geonncannon for the truth of that statement) other than Helen, Charlotte, and their kiss; Helen's voice; and geonncannon's words, I gave it a go...

... and thank God I did; it was brilliant.

I loved the premis behind the story that Helen had another chance to live a long, long life; that she spent that time in living and planning while never foregtting what had gone before; that she had a 'moment' with her lost daughter; that she found a 'Charlotte' to live the remainder of her days with (?); and that, in the end, she came back to herself with 'extras'.

I loved Helen's voice; I loved the relationship she had with Charlotte; and I loved the unbelievably excellent writing involved in telling the story.

Thank you.
