Madeleine Knows...And Feels Relieved

I know what the end of the story I am currently slogging through is going to be, by which I mean that I figured out what is happening and who is involved in the last paragraph of the last story, which will also be the last paragraph of my book. I am relieved!

This is not to say that the paragraph won't change when I actually write it--I haven't written it yet, but I've taken notes--but at least I know where the last story is going. And it is uplifting, I think, this paragraph. Uplifting for me, anyway.

I just remembered writing about the "dreaded paragraph" for quite a time back when I started the Mildred with Agnes. The dreaded paragraph must have been in Story 1. This paragraph did not turn into a dreaded paragraph, which seems to me progress.

I am trying to think of this story as just another story, but it's difficult, because it's the last story, and this will be the last paragraph people read of this book, if anyone ever reads it, and it's bound to carry a little more weight than most other paragraphs in the book.

Again, I am relieved. No more sadness or bleakity for Madeleine. For now...
