happy ending
Fairy tale finale
A happy ending is a conclusion where things turn out well—the hero triumphs, lovers reunite, problems resolve.
Stories with happy endings satisfy audiences who want closure and hope: I'm a sucker for a happy ending.
In massage parlor slang, a happy ending is sexual release provided at the end of a session, typically a handjob.
