Something to Live for (Moonlight Dating Series) (6 page)
“It’s time
to say goodbye, Alex,” she said softly.
He
breathed in harshly and released a broken breath. “Tony, you’ll always be a
part of me, but I’m glad you’re happy.” He paused. “Goodbye, bro.”
Tony smiled again and faded back into his
world. With him went the light, and all traces of the portal.
Alex’s
tension seemed to ease. He moved to where Tony had been standing. “
Melita
—” he started, but his voice broke off.
“I know,”
she responded. “It’s over now.” He had to learn to be all that he was meant to
be, to live without the cloud of regret.
He gave
her an intent look. “Yes. Thank you. I know he’s okay, and he’s not mad at me.”
He extended a hand to her. “It’s our cue that we should be happy, too. Will you
do this with me? Will you be with me?”
She took
his hand and smiled.
I am not alone any more. This man is all my
own.
“Breakfast?”
she suggested.
“Sounds
like a plan.”
They walked
to the car, huddled close, while the future loomed bright. She did believe Tony
was at rest now, and because of him, they’d learned a lesson.
To hold on to life.
To relish the little things it offered, while they lasted.
To follow their dreams.
And to never be alone.
For all
people really required to be happy was someone to go home to after a day’s
work, and to have a life lived with purpose.
They
needed someone to share all the madness of life with, the good and the bad. All
that mattered was a reason to be.
Someone, and something, to live for.

About the Author
Natalie writes stories of romance, suspense, paranormal and
horror, sometimes set in exotic locations. She got her first taste of serious
writing in her teens by penning poetry, short stories, and articles for college
and local publications. At university, she trained as a lawyer. In 2006, she
started freelancing as a writer and editor, and later still, she finally turned
to thinking up plots and talking to her characters when everyone else was
asleep. She sold her first story to an e-publisher in 2007.
Natalie is married and has one son. She spent 11 years in
Atlanta, Georgia, but since 2009 she calls the beautiful island of Malta home.
When she isn't working or writing, she enjoys spending time with
her family, cooking, watching a good movie, taking trips, and most of all,
reading.
Her tastes in books are eclectic, but she possesses an
extensive collection of romance and mystery novels, both in print and on e-reader.
She loves to meet other authors and readers. Her strong belief is that
creativity shouldn't be put in a neat little box. All writers should write
what's in their heart - as long as they give it their best.
