Elizabeth
stood on the deck of the yacht overlooking the harbor. The air was
chill, but she was so happy that she radiated warmth. She turned her
head and stared at Wyndamere. She remembered how impressed she was
the first time they all went inside. Of course she had peeked through
the windows with Lucky at the Bacchanalia and then they had dance in
the courtyard. But then that fall while they were trying to uncover
the trail of Emily's blackmailer, Nikolas had invited them all over.
That was when they had all really become friends. It had taken
something horrible and turned it into a friendship to last a
lifetime. They always teased her about calling them the four
musketeers. But she didn't care. That's what it was like. It was one
for all and all for one. She grinned as she felt Lucky's arms
encircle her waist from behind.
"Good morning, Mrs.
Spencer." He whispered in her ear.
"Good morning, Mr.
Spencer." She replied as she turned to face him.
"I
woke up and my wife was missing." Lucky said as his eyes
sparkled.
"I was just reliving every moment I've gotten to
spend with you. I love you so much!" She cried as the tears made
a trail down her face.
Lucky brushed each tear away and pulled her
tightly into his arms. "God, I love you. I love you so much that
it takes my breath away."
Lucky pulled away and grabbed her
hand tugging her back into their bedroom and then as he lifted her
into his arms he shut the door.
Emily stood on the
balcony staring at the water. She saw the Haunted Star anchored in
the middle of the water. She hoped that last night was as magical as
they dreamed. Nikolas joined her with a cup of coffee for each of
them.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked her.
"How
lucky we are." She grinned.
"I feel pretty lucky to have
you in my life." Nikolas agreed.
"But it's more than
that, we have survived so much, the cancer, the fire, the car crash,
Mary and Connor Bishop, my supposed death. And yet we still each
other, and we have our best friends from childhood too." Emily
elaborated.
"I still am trying to wrap my mind around the
fact that Lucky is Sly and Lucky was still being held prisoner by
Helena all of these years." Nikolas confessed.
Emily turned
to him, "How did we get so lucky?"
Nikolas chuckled. "I
don't know, but I am not complaining, I have you and you have
Elizabeth and I have my brother and his cousin. I just feel so
blessed I guess I don't want to examine it too closely in fear that
it might go away."
"I love you" Emily
whispered.
"Baby, I love you too." Nikolas bent and
kissed her, softly, sweetly, reminiscent. But a kiss can only remain
at that level so long. And it quickly turned hotter, heavier, and so
Nikolas and Emily returned inside and celebrated life and love
together as only they could.
