As they stepped out into the moonlight, he bent and raised her

hand to his lips. “I am not familiar enough, dear Founder. Yet.”

It was, when all was said and done, now a human town, with

human values.

But in the dark . . . Morganville was still hers.

Always.

It’s bittersweet to say good- bye to Morganville, and I needed a
