Thanks, @jazzhero! I'm pretty glad that you liked my story :D

I'd like to think that he's still in love with Marissa at the end of the story, but things have fallen sour, of course. As he was not only the person responsible for bringing the unicorn, but for bringing the fall of the Redwood family as well, I think Marissa hates him with a vengeance even in his senior years. Which is somewhat sad, because he knew what was going to happen all along...

I guess that's why they say, be more careful with what you wish for...
