Just found this fic, and have plowing through it because it is such a page turner. I will have to go back and read it again, this time more slowly. I would love to see more of it, but I have to say what you've left us with here isn't a bad ending. Sort of Lady and the Tiger-ish except I suppose it's a question of the Tiger or the Tiger, isn't it?

Part of rushing through the page turner (I have no self control) was not stopping to read the comments, so please excuse me if I'm asking something you've already answered. Am I correct in getting the vibe that Eva may -- in a number of years -- end up married to Xander?

Any way, I loved this.
