Her dress - her mother's dress - was restored.
The lace and tulle once again intact, like her heart.
She caresses the gown, running her hand down the skirt, admiring the handiwork of the city's best dry cleaners.

They got married, but she couldn't wear the dress. Needed to leave that life in the past. They were different now. Evolved.
Beckett is now comfortable with moving forward. With her mother's case solved, and their wedding day realized, she's ready to live the life she denied herself for so long.

A/N: I can't believe we're at chapter 90. I always hoped I'd get to 100 stories, wasn't sure I'd make it for a while. So thankful to have eventually regained inspiration. My original goal is now very much in sight. Thank you all for your constant support.
