Julien's Book (26 page)

A letter from Nadine

Dearest reader,

I'm writing to let you know that in spite of our relationship beginning with the outrageous events you just read about, Julien and I have settled into a normal existence. I finished college and have been working full time at the French immersion school I was so fond of for nearly two years. Julien proposed a few months ago, and of course, I said yes. We haven't decided where we'll have the wedding, but I'm sure it will be fairly small since neither of us really care about having a grand event. (Please don't tell my mother I said that.)

I moved
in with him about six months into our relationship and have been helping fix up his old house. I've taken the responsibility of caring for the plants and flowers. I'm trying to convince him to add a koi pond, but Julien keeps warning me that Max would eat them. We also put a fresh coat of paint on the outside, and I'm happy to report that it no longer looks like a shack when you approach. We are both really proud of the place, and have friends over all the time to enjoy it with us.

Julien's had several pro fights, and continues to work toward his goal of making a living as a fighter and coach. As of now, his current situation is working fine, but eventually, he hopes to open his
own gym. There's a real possibility that will end up happening in France, since I'm starting to get the itch to live closer to my mom and sisters. Julien is making great progress with speaking French and is open to the idea of moving. Nothing is set in stone, but we talk about it, and both feel like it's an option. Julien's family tells us how much we would be missed, but say they'd understand if we needed to make that decision.

But that's all speculation.

Today is all that matters.

Today, I'm content to live in my beautiful little Cajun house with my fierce, handsome fighter. He's got black hair and a tattoo from God, and he
takes my breath away on a daily basis just like Nadine from the book.

T
wo years ago I would have told you that fairytales don't come true. Now I know I was a fool.

Dream big,

Nadine
