Epilogue
1 . Paragraph begins with: He had to get a train, then a metro, then a bus, and then he walked.
Alexis: Look, I wrote a damn epilogue. I know I have a reputation for abrupt endings, something that has in no way changed how I approach writing an ending. With a lot of romances, I like to keep a sense of openness about the relationship and the future of the couple. As a general rule, I believe in HFN not HEA. I guess I might just be a commitment-phobe in writing as well as in life because I feel I can genuinely guarantee a HFN without rushing the characters through a relationship, compromising who they are or treating heteronormative assumptions as the default.
With Alfie and Fen, however, it’s so clear what they want from their relationship and each other. It’s a home and a business and a future and marriage, and a dog, and kids, the whole shebang. So it didn’t feel like I was closing anything down or missing any stages by showing you a glimpse of how that begins.
2 . Paragraph begins with: “I left David and his snotty new boyfriend…”
Alexis: Yep, sounds like Niall.
