Restitution (The Edge of Darkness, #3)

by Leigh Rivers

Me. That girl is me. I have my entire life ahead of me, and I get to spend it with Kade Mitchell. I get to love and be with Kade Mitchell, and there’s nothing in our way.

But he looks like a survivor to me. He is a survivor.

“I love you,” I tell her. “I’m so proud of you. Thank you for giving me everything I’ve ever wanted. You. A son. A daughter. A life with you.” “I love you too,” she replies, her voice breaking.

and I smile at my girl as she looks over at me. It all feels normal. We are normal. We’ve never been normal before.

The fulfilling feeling of mattering to someone so much that they’re still by my side even now, after everything – it’s surreal. But Stacey’s always been there. Through everything. She’s been there. Our broken puzzle pieces are finally firmly in place, and they’ll never be torn apart again. Because we get to have this. We get to have everything we’ve ever wanted. Kade Mitchell and Stacey Rhodes – the fifteen-year-olds who met by the pool twenty years ago – finally get to have their forever.
