My website is at www.phoenix-writing.com Epilogue Yesterday Jason and I celebrated our 25 th
wedding anniversary. He still continues to take my breath away, and make me glad for every day that he's with me. I love him so much more than I could have ever fathomed. I feel it in his every touch, his every kiss, and his every breath. I know he loves me equally. In the last 22 years, not much changed, I'm a little sad to say. Well, in the grand scheme of things, not much changed. The Government has remained fairly stable since those incidents, and we haven't had to see The Legendary Warrior. I suppose that's a very good thing for all of us. I think it takes a lot of out Jason when he has to do that. There have been so many interesting people involved in our lives. Enriching them, and making us all stronger. I'm really grateful for the strength of those that are close to us. Jason and I aren't as close to the cabinet as we once were. We've had to distance ourselves. Yesterday, General Ka'teth sent out a patrol to the newest member of the Empire, Meyer V. They're a nomad type of people, but interesting enough. We'll meet them in a few weeks in person. Jason's friend Jordan has been teaching music at a local school for the last few years. He enjoys working with those kids so much. I'm not sure if his husband approves though, Rob never wanted kids of his own.
Vice General Lefluy got married last week. To a woman. They started having babies a few years ago together, and now they have nine of them. I swear, they seem to breed like Earth puppies. Colonel Kirima Hasira retired. She's enjoying the beaches and oceans of some distant world. She writes every so often. I wondered how things would turn out for her. She was always a career woman. Reminded me of Captain Lochley from Jason's TV show Babylon 5. Yes, he made me sit down and watch what he calls a 'marathon' of the show. All 5 seasons. We watched 12 hours a day. Jason called it a vacation. I called it torture. We both got popcorn and sex out of it. Well, okay. I can't say it was really torture, since I was cuddled up with the man I love, and it wasn't really sex. When you love someone this much, it's so much more. For our anniversary, Jason and I traveled to see his parents on Earth. They're still doing okay, but they are getting on in age. Our son is doing well. Mankato is still a very stunning image. If he wasn't my own son, I'd drool. “Keith, come to bed. You've been typing on that terminal for far too long.” Jason's complaining from the bedroom. I think he bought some sexy underwear when we went downtown yesterday. “Alright, my love.” I decided to reply. I stood from the terminal, and headed to bed where Jason immediately wrapped his arms around me. I smiled as our lips touched, and then the terminal decided to shut off all by itself.
