“Isabella.” She looks down at her and I can see the love shining from her eyes to this precious baby she’d brought into the world. “Listen, Leigh, thank you for coming. It was…really big of you.”
“Yeah, well…I wasn’t exactly innocent in all of this either.”
“I know you hate me, and with reason, but I am sorry…for everything. Maybe you’ll never forgive me, but I hope that one day you can.” I didn’t come for apologies or to hash anything out with her. I came for me. I came so that I could look at the one person that had tried to hurt me and break me, and pray that I didn’t feel anger.
But I don’t. I feel relief. I feel peace.
“It all worked out in the end.” I give her a smile. “I am glad that you’re happy.”
“I am, Leighton. And I hope you’re happy too.”
“I am.”
“Tell Everett I said hi?”
I nod before giving her a small wave, and then I’m out of the room, letting the door close behind me and on a chapter of my life that I thought I’d never be able to close. I make my way through the parking lot when I notice a familiar face standing against my car with a smirk across his face.
“How’d you find me?”
“I could find you anywhere.” He smirks.
I wrap my arms around the back of his neck and press my lips to his. “Find my Friends?”
“My best friend.” He corrects and my heart flutters just like it always does when I remember that I am the luckiest girl alive to be in love with her best friend. “You see Alli?”
“And Isabella. She’s really cute for a newborn.”
“You saw the baby?”
“The one that was almost yours?”
“It was never almost mine. Wrong eggs.” He points at me.
“That was romantic and weird.” I shake my head and bump his shoulder with mine. “I took her a bear.”
“That was nice. You aren’t fleeing a crime scene though, right?”
“Shut up. We apologized to each other.” I smack his chest and he chuckles. “Did you want to go in?”
“No, I’m just here for you.” He smiles before cupping my face and swiping his lips across mine. “I’m proud of you.”
“For not killing her?”
“Well yes, but also for how much you’ve grown. You’re an incredible human, Leighton Mills, and I’m lucky as hell to call you my best friend.”
“You’re getting sentimental on me. You’re not proposing, are you?”
“And she has to ruin it.” He rolls his eyes. “Meet you at the restaurant?”
I blow him a kiss as he walks away. “Hey,” I call over our cars and he turns to look at me, “you’re pretty incredible too, and maybe if you’re lucky I’ll do some pretty incredible things to your dick tonight.” I wink before I hop in my car.
