Thank you so much for reading and loving BIAU!! I understand that the ending is harsh and it is difficult to accept especially because it might feel incomplete and or rushed, but I don’t think a sequel is what Heath and Riley need. I would consider rewriting the story somewhere down the road and develop the storyline better, but the ending would remain the same. I would just give more of an explanation behind Riley’s decision to not stay with Heath. Riley did what would be best for everyone. She won’t be able to forget that Heath killed her first love. She’ll see it when she sees her daughter and she’ll see it when she sees Heath. Continuing into a relationship with him would only hurt both of them and even Penelope at some point when she’s old enough to know the truth. I’m not saying that when Penelope is older she can’t forgive Heath, she most likely will, so Heath and Riley could potentially meet again, but for where this story ended, it was their end.
