Yay! Yay! Yay! Niff.
Talk about ending on a high, the whole epilogue had me feeling totally ecstatic. Geoff's not as b&w as we think, confessing his love to Nicole on his wedding day to Melody, that boy's got shades of grey creeping in. The funny thing is he actually did the right thing for the first time in his life. He finally had the guts to choose what he wanted, who he loved, and to take a chance with Nicole. Not settle for what he thought was right for him, what was ultimately second best, not to settle for Melody.
Also liked the Belle/Aden scene and how it played out in reverse order. I knew that Geoff chose Nicole & didn't marry Mel just from the lines Belle/Aden exchanged. Even though you didn't actually have them say it.
Oh and in the chapter previous to the epilogue (didn't comment on it before as I just read it), I really liked the Geoof/Nicole scene, it was really written well & as a reader I could really feel the tenseness between them. Also the Nic/Aden exchanges were fun to read, witty as usual. Especially the whole cake stuff.
Really well written story, always perfectly in character, and highly original. Well done.
