Epilogue

"The jury has decided, Samantha Uley will be permanently under custody of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Uley. Levi Uley Junior will be sentenced to a later decided amount of time in prison. Court dismissed."

I wanted to dissolve into tears of happiness. I wouldn't ever have to see my father again.

I threw my arms around Sam and he laughed, spinning me around behind the table that we sat at. Emily was crying a bit as she approached me and hugged me tighter than ever, thanking God it was over with.

Claire walked up to me next, hugging me in a surprisingly strong hold for a cancer patient. The rest of the pack hugged me and we laughed all laughed. I made my way to the back of the crowd where Colin was leaning against the gate that separated the audience from the offenders and lawyers. He had an adoring look of relief and happiness as he took me in. I realized I was doing the same thing.

Before we started, I had memorized every bit of Colin to remember him, and he had memorized me in case something else happened and I moved away from La Push. He said he wouldn't have been able to say goodbye once he found out, so he wanted to remember me. But now, those weren't any worries.

He grinned and I grinned back, running over to him and giggling when he took me in his arms, spinning me around as Sam had done, except kissing me too. He kissed me repeatedly, happily, and joyfully on my lips, nose, forehead, cheeks, chin, and even one on my neck. He kissed me hard on the lips one more time before keeping me still, though my legs were wrapped around his waist.

"You're staying," he said.

"I'm staying," I repeated. "And I love you."

"I love you more," he said, kissing me again.

For once, I didn't argue.
