Fixed, I think...I had to look in Safari. You use IE, I think, right? Or maybe your phone. But I believe it's okay now. That's what I get for trying to do something in a slick way. /nerd
I'm not sure that the story is really about Veronica allowing herself to rely on the people who care about her, or at least that wasn't my intent. It's more about her thinking about the people she hurt, or took for granted, who then come together and say to her, "We don't care; we love you anyways, and we're going to be okay." I wanted to have her trying to sort it all out...everything happened very fast in the finale, and I wanted her to be processing those events and very overwhelmed with it all. And also that the people you love care about *all* of you, even the sort of screwed-up parts of you.
She'd been really compartmentalizing during the whole finale (no one of the three men in her life knew everything that was going on), but they'd quickly put it together if they talked. (This is revisiting one of my very old, very overused themes, about "who knew what, when", and how Veronica's secrecy causes trouble for her.)
I think you could say that at the end, it looks like she's going to rely on them. I purposely wanted to end it there: she's got to make a decision to let them in and work with them, in order for all of them to survive.

Thanks for helping with this one.
