A/N: This is the end of our little story, I really hope you all enjoyed. I'm really considering a sequel so let me know what you think about that.

Dear Mom,

Before I start on today's story I want to let you know that all the knights are doing well. Work has been fine, but I have something a little bit different to write about today. I know normally you like to hear tales about work but I have a better story for you today. Let's call it a love story, but it doesn't really start out that way. Let's go back to the beginning.

I guess you probably remember the five days last February when I never wrote you and I want to apologize for never explaining myself. Something bad happened and I got hurt. I'm alright now, but for a while I wasn't.

I was on a slippery slope six months ago, I felt like I lost everything, I even lost myself. Honest to God, the only way to describe it would be to say I died. Everything I was, the parts of me you could be proud of, they all died. You can imagine how hard this is for me to understand, I've studied every kind of science known to man and I know that there is nothing scientific that can explain the end of your life before you actually die. I wish I would have asked you, I'm sorry that I didn't. I know you would have understood, and I know you could have taught me how it was possible. There's a quote I'm sure you know very well, "Cowards may die many times before their deaths". I remember hearing it when you used to read to me, I think that's the best way to explain what happened to me.

I don't want to upset you by telling you all of this. Like I wrote earlier, I'm better now. I've been brought back to life. Now I told you that this was a love story and I'll move on to that part because I know it's what you've been waiting to read.

Cameron Mansfield, that's who brought me back to life. Everything I have now I owe to her, she brought me out of my darkness and lead me back to the land of the living. You probably thought you'd never hear this from me, but I'm in love with her. And I want to thank you for everything you've taught me. Not just about literature, but you always told me about the proper way to treat a girl, like holding the door open or helping her with her coat.

Mom, I'm really glad that I finally got to write you a letter like this. I'm sorry I wasn't ready to do it sooner. It's nice to tell you a story with a happy ending. I know that you read all the tragic love stories of the past and so you must know how rare it is to find this sort of happiness.

I'll write again tomorrow. Love always,

Spencer

"Writing to you mom?" Cameron asked as she entered the living room with two glasses of red wine.

"Just finished." He replied carefully applying a stamp to the envelope, "You know this is the nicest letter I've ever written her?"

Cameron handed him a glass, "You normally write to her about work right? That can't be a very cheery topic."

Spencer looked over at her slightly flushed, "I wrote about you today."

Cameron broke into a huge smile, "Really?" She didn't mean to sound so surprised, but he never talked about his mom and she assumed that when he wrote her letters, she would never be the topic of conversation. She bit her lip sweetly and wrapped her arm around his neck, "You know I love you right?"

His cheeks reddened and he nodded, "Do you know that I love you?"

She nodded back and held his gaze, "I know."

Reid picked up his glass and Cameron did the same. "Here's to many more happy stories." He toasted.

Cameron tilted her head quizzically but clinked her glass against his, "To leaving the dakness and in the light of day, finding all the happiness we'll ever need."

A/N: Shakespeare is the owner of the quote. Hope you all loved the story and I hope you want to hear more :D Please review for the last time.
