An ellipsis is fine. An ellipsis was the status quo for so long. But I had come to accept the period; an occasional question mark. The exclamations had passed.
But an ellipsis . . . that’s something I don’t know what to do with.

Love, love, love the first sentence. Turning finality into a continuation? Happens so much in life, in so many ways.
