Before we end this journey, I just wanted to thanks all the people that gave this story a shot and inspired me to keep writing and actually finish it. As we all know, it is must easier to leave behind a project than to actually complete it. But here it is. With all its faults, shortcomings and glory, this is where the story ends.
Thank you for being a part of this!

New York is a big city with many people and many extraordinary things. There is not much that can surprise its citizens, but every now and then, something does happen. For Angie Noam it happened quite often. It was in this city she found her daughter. It was in this city she found the love of her life. It was in this city she gave birth to her son, George Peter Caffrey. She watched him now, standing next to his sister. Suddenly it seemed as if three years had passed in a heartbeat.
"Peter never did understand how it could happen. I am not quite sure I do myself."
Angie turned to meet Mozzie's eyes. She smiled and placed a hand around his arm. "Neal was an extraordinary man, Mozzie. But he was still a man. He came to visit me one night. He was tired of everything."
"And you never saw him after that?" Mozzie raised a brow.
"Only at the hospital"
Angie felt her heart drop. For one moment she had actually believed that it could be Neal. She hated doing this but Neal had fooled Mozzie too. There must have been a reason. As for the last night she had with Neal, she had left him when he was sleeping. She left him a letter, asking him to leave.
"I'm sorry" Mozzie said.
"Me too", Angie smiled.
"I have got something for you", Mozzie said suddenly. He pulled out an envelope from his pocket and gave it to Angie without looking at her.
"What is this?"
"The future" Mozzie said simply. "I bought you plane tickets, one-way. Go out and see the world"
"Mozzie, why would you do that?"
"Because you need it. New York has given you everything it could. Time to move on."
"I don't want to move away"
"You do. I have seen you look at plane tickets. There is a life for you out there."
"Mozzie, My life is here with the people I love. I don't want to leave you."
"Well, my love. You are not leaving me."
"What?"
"We are going together. You didn't think I would just let you go like that. Did you?"
Angie looked down at the envelope and then at her children, "Mozzie, I can't just drag my children around the world."
"Yes, you can. Daisy needs to change schools anyway. She is too good for that place. George will be happy anywhere in the world. I have arranged for everything. Just trust me."
"Mozzie, I do."
"Then it is settled", Mozzie smiled and stood up.
Angie watched him and then called after him, "Wait. Where are we going?
Mozzie turned around, "Paris".
Angie shook her head in disbelief, "What's in Paris?"
Mozzie laughed, "Something extraordinary"
