I don't know... if he did that it would seem a little fanfiction-ish... I think it wouldbe sort of a disappointment if RR did that. when books come to this. "As You Like It" ending, it's not always fun.

There should be some moderately happy endings, like Reyna can keep herself in Camp Jupiter and keep on training new Romans the thing she loves doing, and Leo can spend his time with his maching Archimedes' scrolls and everything and be happy like that. Not everyone has to be paired up. It won't be realistic otherwise.
