it reminds my of how I remember the child of a past lover, but not the lover. The child loved to have me read to her and now has a chile of her own
How sad that an author's response to readers hoping for a story to continue is to accuse them of "carping".
I have generally enjoyed your stories, so I find this attitude disappointing
Oh dear. Carping misguided criticism again. Who says a story must have an ending? Have you not heard of author's intention. What I the author of this original piece of fiction gave you, intentionally, was a slice in the life of a couple coming together - not the complete life of being together. If you crave for an ending, imagine one or go back to reading comics.
Beginning-middle-end This is it for most stories. However some stories start at the beginning...swiftly pass through the middle and then morph into a new soon to be explored new beginning. That's known as life. Sometimes we are only allowed to see a slice.
