She wouldn't have. But I spend too much time worrying about what happens to people in books relative to history. I have the complete future lives of all the characters in The Friendly Young Ladies worked out.
With Mic and Vivian I don't think they will be able to have that conversation, which means what they have is the ghost of love... and that isn't a happy ending. But not everything has to be. "They're back together but it's irretrievably broken" is indeed a distressing way to end a romance novel. But it's not really a romance novel. It's exegesis on Plato just as much as The Last of the Wine is.
I'm glad you've thought about it because for a minute I was feeling really odd. I don't want to be fixed in one position either, but culturally it's difficult. I'm sorry that person sucked, and I am glad you have better people now. I have also had problems with this a lot from all kinds of angles.
