The ending....

The ending of the story has a cute ending, but I would have preferred if the writer would have had the girl and the boy sail off together. Everyone likes a good love story.

What happened...

Simon and Nora met after he committed the crime and she said she still liked him and promised not to marry anyone else. After that he was saved by the falcon old lady and the story ended with them saying goodbye. Nora and Simon never actually ended up together.
