Conclusion
Another great addition to this series, this story deals with the pressures of added responsibility we gain as we get older. Also, it shows how tough a relationship can be when one isn't ready for it. The storyline is entertaining, and there are some very sweet moments. Not to mention a very lovely poem by Christina Rossetti.
