“Yes.” His green eyes gleamed even in the dim light of the morning. “I was dreaming about our wedding night.” I bit my bottom lip as he chuckled again. “That was a great night. One of many. I’ve lived a privileged life with you as my wife.” “You mean that?” His love, I felt it in every facet of light, every molecule I breathed, but hearing it after all this time… it always broke me open, tore away the insecurity age had saturated me with and made me feel young again. He kissed me with slow, soft lips before he pulled away; his jade eyes were wide open and my heart was at a full sprint as he said, “Only. Ever. You. Elizabeth… now… and forever still.”
THE END
A Letter to the Reader
I WANTED TO SAY a quick thank you. Writing this series… seeing it end, it was bittersweet. It began here for me. It all began with the tragic story of a green-eyed boy turned broken man and a beautiful girl at a stop light. This whole world came to fruition, and you held my hand along the way. Without your love for these characters, my words would have vanished into the void, and because of your hearts they flourished, and I am forever in your debt. Thank you for all you do for me, thank you for supporting me, and thank you for being just damn amazing! I will leave you with a tease… I may or may not be chewing on the idea of a YA novel for Annie and Lyric. Strictly stand alone, strictly YA. I think it could be fun to explore the hearts of these two and their forbidden love. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and I hope you’ll stick around for more adventures! Much love, Amanda ~
