Summary
“I’ve been thinking a lot about the nature of open endings since I read your book,” Connor tells Hank, staring at his folded hands in his lap.
Hank shifts in his seat to look at him. “Yeah?”
Connor nods. “About how sometimes things look one way, but they can be something else. And about how things keep going after the story ends.” He glances over at Hank, shrugging. “It makes everything seem less final when you think of it like that.”
~~
After the revolution, Hank and Connor get together. But they both have their own burdens, and they don't know how to heal together.
So they break up. Connor goes to D.C., and Hank gets back into writing, an old high school hobby, and publishes a book almost through happenstance.
And two years later, they reconnect in D.C., the first stop on Hank's book tour, and discover that their own ending doesn't have to be nearly so final.
