The final chapter of "Directions," which is the final story in my "Only Time" series. Thank you totestdog65 for participating in the long, complicated beta-ing of this chapter, tovlredreign for all the commas she had to move, and to all of you who've been with me for this journey. I'm not sure I can ever describe what it's meant to me. And yes, I really do want your comments; they mean the world to me!

This chapter is too long for one post; just follow the link at the end of this part to the second part.
