Hey there everyone! Here is the final chapter of this story, I hoped you liked it so far and that you'll like this last chapter.

Again, thanks for Vixenali, and to Jamie for the proofreading :) You girls are great!

Sam was on the other side of the room talking with Oliver when Andy decided to dance with Traci. His eyes couldn't help but to land on her and stay there. She was beautiful tonight. Well, she was beautiful every single night, but tonight was different.

She was wearing a beautiful but simple red dress and her hair was down on her shoulder. She was just absolutely gorgeous, but what made her ever more gorgeous was her smile. Sam's heart tightened with emotion as she sent him a beaming smile before turning back to Traci.

"You even listening to me brother?" Oliver asked, lowering his head to catch his eyes.

"What? Yeah yeah sure I was." Sam told him, raising back his head to look at his friend who raised an eyebrow, definitely doubting that he was.

"Why don't you go dance with her? I know you're dying to." He said to Sam, pointing to Andy who was clearly having a lot of fun.

"I don't dance you know that." Sam replied, giving a small look to the girls.

"Yeah, and you don't go sit on the beach to talk in the middle of the night now do you?" Oliver said, referring to the night before.

"How can you know that? You were snoring like a bear when I left!" He asked, wondering how he could've known that he was with Andy the night before.

"I know everything brother. I know everything." Oliver answered, winking.

"Yeah, well I just don't wanna move in too fast. She just broke up with Callaghan a couple of days ago." He said shrugging.

"Sammy, you guys have been dancing around each other for months now, there's nothing fast about it." His friend told him, raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah…" Sam replied, not saying anything more as he turned to look at Andy.

She had taken his breath away when he saw her entering the church this afternoon, and he had to admit that he had been looking at her during almost all the ceremony. It's not like it wasn't interesting – it was beautiful – but he couldn't take his eyes away from her.

Just as he was thinking that the song ended as the DJ said he was going to put on a slower song now. The announcement had Oliver elbow him as he pointed to Andy walking back to her chair, Traci now dancing with Jerry.

"Go! Just go!" Oliver said in a tone that didn't leave much place for arguing.

Waving his hand in the air to make his friend stop talking Sam got up, walking around the dancefloor all the way to Andy.

"Wanna dance?" He said when he was finally next to her.

"Yes of course." The young woman replied with a smile that made his heart swell.

Sam took her hand and walked towards the dance floor. She slid her hands around his neck as he placed his on her waist, making her shiver from the intimate touch.

Traci gave her a smile over Jerry's shoulder and Andy smiled back at her before turning her attention to the man in front of her.

He was wearing a tux, and Andy had to say that it looked good on him. She was used to seeing him in his uniform, or in jeans and a t-shirt when they were at the penny, but she hadn't had any occasion to see him dressed in a tux.

"You look nice." She told him, moving just a little backward so that she could look at him more easily.

"Thanks, you're beautiful too." He said in a low voice, making her blush as he spoke.

Smiling, Andy moved closer, resting her head on his shoulder as they continued to slowly sway to the music. Everything around them had seemed to fade away, and it was like they were the only people in the room.

Everything felt so nice with Sam she thought. So perfect. Maybe she had been wrong all along and Luke was never the good guy. She just hoped that she wasn't too late and that she could still make things work with Sam.

"Wanna go outside?" Sam whispered in her ear, making her heart skip a beat as she nodded, not trusting herself to speak right now.

Taking her hand, he walked away from the dancefloor as the song ended, making his way to the door. The ceremony had been held in a little church in town, but the reception was only a couple of houses down the street from the inn they were staying at, and it was also on the beach.

Rolling his pants a bit, Sam took off his shoes and socks as Andy grabbed her white sandals, her feet slowly sinking in the sand that was still warm from the sun even if it was now hidden all the way down the mountains behind them. The beach was quiet with the exception of a few couples walking hand in hand.

The wind was colder now and Andy shivered a little as they walked closer to the water until the waves were reaching their feet. Sam took off his jacket, putting it on her shoulders, staying in only his dress shirt.

"Thank you." Andy told him, pulling the sides of it closer to her body as he put his arm around her shoulder, a warmth spreading to her body as much as from the jacket than from his arm.

"You're welcome." He said quietly as they walked on the beach, water coming up to their feet every time a bigger waves crashed on the shore.

It was crazy, Andy thought to herself. Crazy that during all that time, her good guy was just there, right under her eyes, and she had never realized it. Even with all the signs that were pointing to him.

After all, he was always the one. He was the one to help her on her first day, even if he didn't really want to. He was the one who taught her the basics, the one who was always there to help her, whether it was to lend her his truck, or to fix a witness's mom's sink. He was the one who was there the night she shot a guy… Sam had always been there, and she was just beginning to realize how blind she had been.

He was the one her heart had wanted for a long time, but she had convinced herself that he wasn't the good guy for her. She had convinced herself that she would be happy with Luke. She had to realize now that she had been wrong all along.

"I'm sorry you know…" She finally told him, breaking the silence that had been between them for a few minutes now.

"Sorry for what?" He asked, looking at her from the corner of his eyes, still holding her close to him as they walked.

"For being a jerk…" Andy scoffed, turning her eyes to the ocean.

"Why are you saying that?" Sam asked her with a puzzled look.

"Because… You were always there, and I wasn't very nice. I understand why you'd want to leave." She said softly.

He raised an eyebrow, wondering what she was talking about. "I heard about the guns and gangs spot. I know they want you back." Andy said in answer to his questioning look.

"I didn't take the spot Andy… I turned it down." He said, his fingers mindlessly caressing her arm over the jacket.

"Why? It's your life." She simply asked, turning her head to look at him.

"It's not anymore…" He started, looking at her in the eyes as he spoke. "And I know I'm probably gonna get my heart broken again, but I don't care."

"What do you mean your heart broken again?" She asked him as she stopped walking, waiting for his answer.

"That morning when Callaghan said he wanted to bring you to his cabin. I should've known better though. I had it coming." He said with a small laugh.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know or else I wouldn't have…" She said but he interrupted her.

"I know Andy, I know." He told her, reaching to push a stray hair back behind her ear, his fingers lingering on her cheek for a few seconds.

"I realize it now. You're the good guy." She whispered as his hand slid to her neck, playing with her small hair.

"I am?" He asked softly, looking at her eyes where the moonlight gleam was reflecting, making them shine.

"You always were. I just wish I had seen it earlier." She answered in the same tone, taking a small step in front of her to come closer to him.

"Well you know it now." He began, pulling her a little closer to him. "That's all that matters to me." He said with a smile that was full of something Andy couldn't quite decipher.

Not able to speak right now, the young woman just nodded, her eyes lost in the depth of those of her partner and friend. She felt a magnetic pull right now, every fiber of her body longing for him.

Leaning towards him, she rested her hands on his chest, looking at him with a look that had his heart beating faster and he couldn't help but wrap both his arms around her, holding her closer to him as she pushed herself on her toes, bringing their faces to the same level.

He was the one to close the gap, his nose softly brushing against hers before he gave her one last look, making sure that it was what she wanted. She nodded almost imperceptibly, her eyes closing slowly as he tenderly put his lips on hers.

The kiss was totally different from the ones they had shared the night of the blackout. Those ones had been intense and passionate, both of them clinging to the other like if there was no tomorrow.

The one they were sharing now was slow, tender and full of promises. Just like if they had been waiting for that kiss their whole lives, and the intimacy of this moment made Andy shiver, her heart so full she felt it was going to explode into a million shiny pieces.

Feeling her tremble, Sam held her closer to him, his embrace ever so gentle as he continued kissing her slowly, making the most of every instant he could have her in his arms.

When they finally backed out of the kiss, she rested her forehead against his, her eyes still closed as she took in everything she was feeling. This was what she had been looking for all her life. He was what she had been looking for all her life…

Sighing in contentment, Andy opened her eyes, looking at him. Sam was smiling too, his eyes sparkling as he raised his hand to caress her cheek. She leaned into his hand, not able to say anything as they just stood there.

A few seconds later he simply took her hand and started walking again. As Andy looked at the moon that was reflecting on the ocean, she thought to herself that she had everything she ever wanted.

They walked for a few more minutes before she just stopped, turning towards the ocean as Sam wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Leaning her whole body against him, she just looked at the water.

Here, with the perfect man for her, just standing under the moonlight, she felt she was in her right place, and she knew that she always would as long as she was standing beside Sam…
