Well, this went quicker than I expected. This and the next one might be shorter than I have been writing in the past, but that's just where my muse is taking me at the moment.

Valerie sat on the pillow of her art stool, painting her latest work of art; a portrait of the man she had come to call her friend. She looked at him lovingly, wondering how she had become so lucky to have such great, caring friends. She only wished she'd realized she could be this happy away from her family sooner. Just then the lights flickered; alerting her someone was currently knocking on her door. Every time this occurred, she thanked God for giving her to such a kind and understanding landlord. She peered in the eyehole of her door; making sure her family didn't surprise visit her again. But upon seeing a tall, blond haired man in a brown suit looking Jacket, with a blue plaid looking shirt with blue jeans, she gasped.

"Valerlie? Are you in there?" He asked. Though her hearing was steadily fading, she would recognize that voice anywhere.

"Will?" She asked, opening her door. "Is it really you?"

Will nodded and stared at her for what seemed like hours before closing the distance; kissing her squarely on the lips like he had wanted to his whole life.

In the background, Kyle and Lindy watched and high fived each other; while in the shadows of the stairs, Robert watched on, smiling. Kyle's head moved toward the direction his father stood and nodded toward the man, a smile on his face, as if to say "good job dad. I'm proud of you."

And with that Robert walked out of the building not noticing he no longer walked with a limp, he flet confident that at some point he could contact his son and they could begin to mend their relationship. As he walked the streets that had become his home, a familiar blonde haired woman dressed in black clothing with high heels and tattoos on her face walked in his direction. She stopped in front of him and he recognized her the moment he had laid eyes on her: Kendra.

"Congratulations, Robert."

"What do you mean?"

Kendra produced a mirror from her purse and held it out before Robert. It was then that Robert saw that his good looks had returned to him, except he still remained blind in his one eye. But he didn't mind.

"How?" He asked. "She was in love with someone else."

"I said you much find someone to love you. Now, part of that was that she had to say the words, but there are many loopholes in the spell. Val is working on a very particular piece you should look at someday."

"But you said, someone had to say I love you."

"She did, in a way. Take a look at it sometime. Love comes from many places. Magic willingly relented"

"And the eye?"

"Magic's way to remind you of your experience. Kyle has a small tattoo left on his hand, mainly because he was late. But it helps remind him of his experience." She smiled. "See you around, Robert." She said, as she walked away, leaving him with a smile on his face.

A/N: I had always intended to have Val and Will be the end of the story and do the whole loophole thing. Now as you may have noticed, this story is not complete yet. I have one more chapter I have cooking up in my head. Can't promise when I'll get to it, so until then! :)
