Riley, Maya, and Lucas sat in Riley and Lucas' living room silent. Riley and Maya were both just wearing bath robes, while Lucas still had his clothes on. Riley then finally spoke up as she said, "Lucas... I care about you but... the one true love of my life is Maya. It's always been her." Lucas sighed and said, "Girls... I know. I've always known." A surprised Riley said, "But why didn't you say anything?" Lucas then sighed and said, "Because I knew you loved Maya and not me. I think I always knew. But I wanted you so much that I... ignored all the obvious signs that it should've been you and Maya together from the beginning. I wish I could've been chosen by you Riley, or even you Maya. But eventually... I knew deep down you both would choose each other over everyone else." Riley then opened her eyes and said, "Lucas, I never wanted to hurt you." Lucas nodded and said, "I know. If anything... I'm sorry I hurt you Riley. I... I think you should be with Maya. You deserve to be with the one you love." A surprised Riley said, "But what about Amy? What's our daughter going to think of her parents breaking up like this?" Lucas then said, "This will be complicated for her growing up. But she deserves to see her mother following her heart. She deserves to have a mother who is happy and is where she belongs. And you're only going to become that mother if you're with Maya." Tears began to appear in Riley's eyes as she stood up, walked over to Lucas, and kissed him on the cheek. Riley made a small smile as she said, "Thank you."
That evening Riley sat alone in her bedroom bay window. Then from the window, Maya climbed in and sat next to Riley. Maya then looked right at Riley and said, "What's up?" Riley smiled and said, "Well... long story short... Lucas set me free." Maya then said, "Yeah. Josh said even though Lucas told him, he suspected it forever. He said he wanted me to do whatever made me happy." Riley then said, "Well... here we are. The beginning of a new journey." Then Maya held Riley's hand as she said, "A journey that I want to last... till death do us part."
THE END
