EPILOGUE
Sydney's confident, quick strides echoed through the almost deserted hallway. A beaming smile was resident on her face and her good mood radiated off her relaxed body, infecting those who got near her instantly.
She walked through the gate into her mother's prison, her mood instantly coming down a few notches when she realised how wonderful her life had just become, and how awful her mother's life would remain, in this cold cell.
Irina looked at her daughter and barely recognised her. This was not the stubborn, pain filled woman who denied herself happiness because of protocol- no, this was a knew, confident woman who's happiness was shining off her. "Sydney, I trust things went well last night. You look different, happy." Irina said slowly, pleased that she had decided to do this for her daughter.
"I am mom. Last night my life changed - I told Vaughn I loved him and he confessed that to me. The villa was incredible, in fact, everything was perfect...Thank you, mom" Sydney said, smiling as she spoke.
"Your welcome. I'm glad you two finally shared your feelings and it's nice to see you finally happy." Irina added, unable to hide her own smile and satisfaction that her plan had worked.
"I have to go now, I have a meeting with Sloane but I wanted to thank you again. Up until now, I couldn't have imagined that ever realistically happening. I thought that I would never go on a date with Vaughn. But you made it happen and I'll be forever grateful for that." Sydney said. And with that she left to start her new life, as Vaughn's girlfriend, leaving Irina amazed at how powerful three words could be and just how much they can change your life.
