A year later and Jack is home with most of his abilities back. Writing and talking still take a lot out of him, and he can't walk as far as he used to without becoming tired. He was still dating Alex, and while Alex still sometimes became exhausted with how much he had to constantly help Jack around, Rian was there to also lend a hand. One day Jack asked Alex to marry him, and there was a cute, long speech that took him a while to get out before Alex cried and agreed. Then they had celebration sex and Alex rode Jack on the couch where they fell asleep cuddled together. The end.
