Atonement (Heart of Stone)

by Sidebottom, D H

  Mason was my world, the life force than ran though my veins and I would forever be his, wholly and entirely.

  “Ava?”

  I turned to him as his fingers gently swiped my tears, “We’ll be fine, baby. We’ll be happy. I promise.”

  I nodded, I knew it and as I turned to look at my babies, my amazing peanuts, I understood finally that God had repaid his debt to me, reimbursed me for the blackness that had once overwhelmed me and had offered me a way out and I was grasping it with both hands.

  It was time now; time to take what was offered and relish it, consume it and feed from it and time to live. Live a life my parents would have wanted for me. Live a life that George had fought for me and finally live the life that Katie had granted back to me.

  Time to live the life that my family cherished me with.

  THE END

  AFTERNOTE:

  As we say our final goodbye to Ava and Mason, I know you’re all screaming at me through tears for Kade.

  But our respective love for Kade would want him to be happy, and I feel that a life with Ava and Mason would have brought many more woes for the illustrious trio.

  So, I am pleased to tell you… Kade will return to your Kindle’s December 24th to tell you how his life developed after the departure of Mr and Mrs Fox.

  He deserves his Happy Ever After and I am determined to give him one, and I will make sure he goes out with a bang!!

  Thank you for taking Ava and Mason into your hearts with me, for demanding this final instalment of their lives and for seeing them through to their Happy Ever After, and as my heart aches with the goodbye, my wicked soul smiles with the hello to Kade.

  So, until Christmas Eve….
