Dear John letters

(Alternate ending)

Chapter 7            End of the dream

For months John rushed home each day to go to bed so that he could dream about Evangeline. As time passed he said and did all the things that he felt he should have done while she was alive.  One day he decides to talk with Dr. Crosby about the dreams and why he did not divulge this before his therapy ended. He tells the doctor that it gave him comfort to be able to live a life with Evangeline through his dreams and since he’s done that he can now move on with his life.  Dr. Crosby tells John that he has made another major breakthrough and it is evidence that he can control his life now and live a full and healthy life not weighed down by all the guilt for things he didn’t do.

John moves out of the Angel Square Hotel and moves into a loft apartment in a trendy section of Llanview.  He receives a promotion to Assistant Commissioner to help Bo with all of the paperwork involved with being Commissioner and to act as supervisor for the detectives and special unit divisions.  He smiles more and that surprises everyone who sees him. This new attitude is even reflected in his wardrobe that now includes brighter colors and not the usual dark hues.

He goes out on dates but still hasn’t found ‘the one’ but he knows what he wants now and won’t settle for less.

A/N:  That is the end of this story.  

With the end of this story I will now take a rest.  Since I started writing in July of 2018 I have posted over twenty-five stories.  I enjoyed each and every one of those stories I want my writing to improve and at this time I don’t feel that is happening.  I will continue to write but I will not post any more stories.  Sometimes I get two or three stories running around in my head at one time and try to write all three and in doing so something gets lost in the timbre of the story, or the characterization, or something and I am not satisfied with that lack of progress.  Thnx to all of you who read any of my stories, all who left comments and reviews, all who added any of my stories to your alerts, follow, or favorites lists.  I appreciate your support.  Special thnx to DS2010, Blessed Soul, that.d***.pebbles, Tre and Sarah Anonymous.  Your constant support encouraged me to continue writing and I am forever grateful to you for that.
