Mia POV:

Hoarse from the passionate kiss, with a confident voice I said what I had been waiting to tell Michael. Something I knew would tell him what I wanted.

"Michael- I don't want to live a half-life anymore."

I saw his brown eyes sparkle with happiness and he pulled me in close his face millimeters from mine, our noses touching and his warm breath caressing my neck.

"Neither do I." He whispered as he pulled me in for a warm, soft kiss, our lips tingling with newfound contact. Finally our wait was over. My stupid mistakes had been reversed and it seemed like the last three years melted away in front of my eyes, the barriers that had been created against him like ice in a furnace and for once in a very long time, I felt warm inside. The heat and passion of the bond we shared had returned and revitalized me from the inside out.

Michael seemed to be having the same experience, and unexpectedly he lifted me up, holding me like a bride and a husband. I wrapped my arms around his neck, clinging on with all of my love.

He made his way back to the studio, and his strong arms encircled me, as I felt his strong chest and heartbeat against my body. Lily was waiting by the entrance to the studio, Her eyes bright with happiness and for the second time in my life, I saw Lily with tears on her cheeks, this time they were happy ones. She ran towards us hugging Michael around the neck, silently congratulating him on his new- found happiness. I knew that she shared a strong bond with Michael, even if it wasn't always shown in the most loving of ways. Deep down in her heart she loved Michael, I mean who didn't?

We walked back into the studio, and the audience cheered as Michael entered with a triumphant grin and me with an ecstatic smile. Even the host was clapping, as if they had all finally realized the connection between Michael and I. It felt warming and they finished out the show.

Michael and I were left to each other as if it was now time for us to start over, to have the happiness we had longed for. It was time for us to create a future.

That was three years ago, I know, a coincidence. As if the three years that had separated us were made up in the three years after this show. I am constantly reminded by Lily of her brilliant plan, even though she would have wanted it no other way. She likes to brag about the fact that she brought two people who were so obliviously still in love back together. Well you know how it is with Lily.

I have never been so happy in the time after that game-show, the Media surrounded Michael and I, but we ignored them, we were all for each other. We were making up for time spent apart. I knew he had questions about why I had left without warning, and I was happy to answer them. I looked back on the old, insecure, me and realized how stupid I had been. I had thrown away three years of my life to depression with no thought for the better path.

Michael totally agrees with me on this point, although unlike Lily, he doesn't rub it in. Although I don't think he will ever fully understand my reasons for abandoning him, he now realizes that I have redeemed myself and realized my stupid mistakes.

We spent many nights just talking, letting out our previous stories, regrouping after three years of separation. We also discussed the bond of the lockets and the saying "Love will always find a way". Both Michael and I think that the lockets create a spiritual connection between us and that they helped us to realize our mistakes. Lily thinks it's a load of BS but in my opinion Lily has some learning of her own to do. One day she will understand, just wait.

Michael POV:

The game show seems like a distant memory. Three joy-filled years have passed since that fateful day when I rescued Mia as I like to put it.

Lily says that she in fact was responsible for us getting back together but I know that she loves the way things are now. I know she hated it when I was depressed because there was nothing she could do about it. Now she has done something and just seeing the happiness I bask in makes her happy and jealous at the same time. Oh well, I'm sure Boris and Lily still have a future!

I still don't understand why Mia left me, but it is something that I will never fully understand. I understand the pressure she was under and that she felt insecure, but it seems weird to me because I thought our relationship was so perfect. Oh well, I forgive her. All that matters is the happiness we share now.

I still wear the locket I received on that fateful day, constantly reminded by the fact that it helped us to find our love again. I believe in the magical powers of that locket and I'm not joking. It helps to create the strong bond between Mia and I share today.

I don't think I have ever loved Mia anymore than I do now. She lights up my days, making every day seem like bliss. But everything is about to get even better for me, even though I can't believe it. In one month Mia and I marry and I get to spend the rest of my life with her.

A/N: Yay! The Luck of the Draw is finished! But will there be a sequel? Hmmm... I guess You'll just have to wait and find out. For now, I'm going to try to keep writing A Slip of the Tongue, because I want to elaborate on that and finish it. But after I'm done with that I'm sure I can find some time to write a sequel for this! After all I did leave you with a cliffhanger!
