Thank you; I wouldn't see it as complete without Michael, who was Richard's brother for twenty odd years and has his own grievances. And Jennsen; actually it's amazing she can trust men at all, now you mention it.
I'm so glad you loved Cara's line; I'd left her out of the story in the first draft, not sure where she could fit in, but hrhrionastar pointed out it seemed an omission. And once Cara was there, she came up with a way to say something Cara-like :D
