This is my idea of how Covert Affairs should end. It is a sequel to my previous story "Heart to Hearts Require Talking" (published May 22 through May 27, 2014). It consists of three chapters, but there are two versions of Chapter 3.

When she returns to DC from Hong Kong, Annie is overwhelmed not by depression or guilt or exhaustion but by indecision. In "Heart to Hearts Require Talking," she shares her thoughts and feelings with some of the people who have been through the last four years with her, and for once she actually listens to what they have to say.
