Give Murder A Hand: Lizzie. Book 2 (The Westport Mysteries) (23 page)

Epilogue

I’ll admit I’d gone into free-fall when Ed said those words. In
fact I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit that if Riley hadn’t been there
holding me up, my knees may have given out and I would have fallen to the
ground. But Riley was there. And so was Ed. And that’s what would make all the
difference. This time I knew what was coming and I had the support to fight it.
And who knows—maybe Joe Woods had found a new love, someone who may enjoy the
kind of attention he was willing to give, and he wouldn’t bother with me at
all.

And if
not, Riley had said we could move to another town. Bless him, even though I
knew that wasn’t an option. My life was here, and I loved Westport.

As I lay
with my head resting on Riley’s chest, the gentle rise and fall lulling me into
a place of security, I knew everything would be okay.

It had
to be.
