And so the storyline, which has gone on for months longer than I originally thought it could be spun out, draws to a close with an ending a lot of people predicted.
After months of rushing to my computer first thing to see the new installment, I feel flat on two levels. Some because it's over... but mostly because yes, according to character dialog throughout, Edda gave up the love of her life to marry out of a sense of duty a man she would ultimately not get along with very well.
And in the meantime, the one man who acted honorably and fairly honestly throughout, who never asked great sacrifice of her or lied to her directly or indirectly, who did his best to let her be her best self rather than see her only in terms of what she was to *him* misses out on the promised life with her *and* apparently any knowledge of his own child. If he's as devoted as Edda remembers, quite likely his only child.
I'm pretty pissed at Edda and Bill right now.
I do wonder if this is the end, though. Considering that the storyline has run since November of last year, I'm wondering if phase 3 is going to be a trip to Vienna.

We'll see. Don't really think I'll keep reading after this plot finishes. It just drags on soooooo sloooooowwww. Maybe stop by once every six months and catch up, get a whole 2 or 3 days covered at once.

Ditto. I was just really sucked in by this in particular, after months of checking maybe once or twice a year. Once it's over, so will my fascination. As it is, my fascination is getting dented!
