Happy birthday, Gigi! Funny thing, though, I thought I saw a reference somewhere to the effect that your birthday was in December. Must have been someone else. Anyway, when you're done with LAL, here's hoping we'll see a little more of you on the social side, since you have no other major projects in the hopper.

Speaking of LAL, we all knew that chapter 18 wouldn't be the end, because you've said all along that it would have an epilogue. Although I agree that chapter 18 leaves too many loose ends (for Heather, anyway; not so much for Noah) to be a really good closing chapter for the story proper, there's nothing wrong with a denouement chapter, so I doubt that chapter 19 will be as boring as you suggest. Look at Legacy, for example. It has an ending that could be considered boring by people with a certain mindset--'Ooh, he told us what Heather and Duncan had for lunch! Riveting!''--but I've had no complaints.
