@darkkol - thank you! I'm glad you liked it
As I've said, this one hasn't been as well received but I really enjoyed writing it. *Especially* Teri's part
She's got a large part of my sense of humor in her character
I didn't especially add the ending last minute - it just changed a bit from how I first imagined it way back when and as I was working through the outline. That actually happens a lot in my stories. They can take different paths as I write because I tend to be flexible and let my characters dictate certain events depending on how things play out.
Again, I appreciate the compliments
