Epilogue

Claire

I'd like to think that dreams come true.

I know that it happened with Hayden.

After learning the truth, I was really upset with him, but I understand why he didn't want to tell me. He wanted to keep it a secret so that way he would be able to nab my father, and nothing would stand in his way. I hated it because I hate seeing my date in prison, but he also deserves it if I'm being completely honest.

I know that dad is not a very good man but I'm trying to let it go. I just hope that with time he would end up being able to forgive me for not being so nice to him. I'm honestly not sure if we're going to be okay but I know what I need and I know what I want to do.

When I look at him, it's like nothing I have ever thought about when I see that his life is so different from mine.

As he turns to look back at me, the glimmer of love in his eyes is enough to make my heart almost skip a beat. I don't know how he managed to have such a hold on me but I'm happy to be his. I long to be close to him and I don't dare to let anything change because I can't. I don't want to.

He is my mate…

My person.

The one man in my life where I would be able to have my happily ever after.
