"A bartender?" asked Finn, shocked, "I didn't even know she went to bars!"
"I know, she'd already met him too, so I couldn't plan anything,"
"But they'll be together, right?"
"I hope so…it's up to them now. I have no control over what happens after they first meet. But I think they'll be just fine," Rachel said, smiling.
"So that's it then?" he asked, "No ex-girlfriend holding us back…"
"Nothing holding us back at all" Rachel said with a grin.
He kissed her, softly at first and then deeper, stronger. He pulled away and smiled at the girl he knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
"I'll make us some dinner, you finish your article," he said, still smiling.
Every so often I get someone coming up to me and asking me if I'm that Rachel girl who wrote the article on love. Finn would always wrap his arms around me and say "yes, that's her! My beautiful girlfriend wrote that!" but lately, his wording has changed, it still takes me a while to get used to hearing it. Now he says, "Yes! That's her, my beautiful wife wrote that!"
Just in case you're wondering, we're going great. All three of us. Me, Finn and the little boy or girl inside of me. I can tell that Finn really wants a boy but I know he'll be happy with either. We just bought a house thanks to my huge pay rise I received after the article went national. I don't think I've ever been happier.
And then I realised what I had to do. I didn't want my child having the gift – I just didn't. I know it helped me find Finn but I also knew what damage it could cause. Walking through the streets, hand in hand with my husband, I saw her. I saw the girl who would receive my gift.
She was the girl next door.
No, not the one who takes her bra off while the cute guy in the window next to hers stares in awe; she was on the other side. She was the girl with the braces who watched the guy watching the girl next door.
Feeling a rush of something all too familiar – I looked up to her window and smiled at her. She looked confused, wondering if she had seen me before, but after realising we'd never met, she smiled politely and turned her head back down to her studies.
"So what now? How does she get the gift?" Finn asked.
"She just got it..." I said, smiling, "and I think I might actually miss it a little bit,"
I kissed him. Everything, right there in that moment – was perfect.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End.
