Other thoughts about the story? What was your overall opinion?

[Lauren]

You covered everything, Jonetta. So looking forward to next month when I can continue with the series.

[Jonetta]

We've caught up with you? Wonderful! Hopefully, these discussions have kept the stories fresher in the meantime.

They have! I've loved reliving the series with you all.

[Veronica]

I've loved rereading them.

I thought you were further in the series, Lauren. I look forward to your fresh thoughts then for the remainder of the series.

Another thing that stood out to me was the flood of love Sebastian felt when he went to tell Hendon about the wedding and found him asleep. There is still a lot of hurt there but there is also a lot of love. I root for a true reconciliation between these two.

I also loved that Hendon went to visit Hero on his own and gifted her with something that had personal meaning.

[Jonetta]

Thanks for bringing this up, Veronica. I'm really hoping that Sebastian can evolve into seeing Hendon as his father, regardless of biology.

Speaking of which...Madame Champagne knew the identity of Sebastian's father! So, that's out there.

[Veronica]

Me too. Fatherhood is more than just biology.

I'm not sure how much Madame Champagne knew about Sebastian's biological father but she could've told him more about his mother. How inconvenient for her to die when she did!

[Jonetta]

I thought it pretty campy that she and Hyde killed each other.

I think on some level Sebastian didn't want to hear more about his mother. Could be wrong but she made it clear to him early on that she knew his mother and he didn't pursue it. Only when she made reference to his father that he wanted more.
