I like this ending line a lot!

Blurb advice I've heard on the eroticanons list from people who write better blurbs than I is that your final question shouldn't be a yes/no question -- readers know that "will they find happiness together?" is a yes, just by genre convention. The real question is how will they do this, what will they have to sacrifice for this, how can they balance X and Y and find Z together. Which I think this is implicitly asking, even if it's phrased as a yes/no -- he can't bear to lose him, the reader fills in, so how will the two of them balance those two opposing desires?
