I think that's absolutely on the money, though - endings need to linger, even if it's a matter of savouring the scene rather than sitting there wondering wtf just happened... in fact, savouring you want to revisit as a reader is way preferable (for me) to obscure walls of 'what if'.
Cool. Thanks, ;D
