Some readers may have qualms with this being a rather "quiet" page.  Thing is, I had considered long-winded farewells, but I felt like it kinda added a certain finality to the page.  Like, it made it sound like we were never see Maria again from this point forward.  And that's not the message I want to convey; even as a mislead.  So I kept the hugs of the first page in silence.  I decided the "it's not forever if you don't say goodbye" philosophy for this one.  I'm sure some will still disagree, and that's fine.  I'm just sharing my thought process here.

But while this isn't the last time we'll ever see Maria, it is still pretty sad to see this; to know that it's had to come to this (sadder when you remember her girlfriend and her brother couldn't make it in time).  With that in mind, I liked the idea of closing the page with something humorous, because Blair did indeed make such an implication in front of Gavin who did not know about Rain and Emily's relationship.  Maybe it's a little bit of emotional whiplash, but I think it fits.

Also, no.  This isn't the end of the chapter either.  There's a few weeks left, still.
