How could I possibly take such a compliment the wrong way? *cherishes*

Now that's not to say I'm not eager to read the epilogue, I most definitely am, I just wanted to let you know that this last chapter was so beautifully done that I'm already content.
Also, you really know what to say to make a writer all tongue-tied. Um... the epilogue is very much an epilogue, by which I mean that this *is* the end of Buffy/Jack. Which all sounds very weird, probably, but I hope you'll see what I mean. Oh and thank you. Lots and lots and lots.
