"Our love was pure passion, fire, and I guess you could say magic... I wouldn't change our story for the world" Airi types on her computer
She hears her phone ring
"Hello" Airi says
"Hello lovely lady, how's the last chapter going" a lady on the other end says
"It's going good, I'm sad my book is finally ending, it was hard to write but, it was worth it" airi smiles looking out the window
"I'm just excited to release it, your book will go big, I'm telling you girl" the lady says
"I sure hope so-"
"Honey" a man says walking into Airis office
"Ah, hold on just a sec Nicole" airi says bringing the phone down from her ear
"Yea sweetie" she says looking up to him
"Kai is asking if you can braid her hair before bed... you promised you would" he says walking in a little
"Uh, yea just let me finish up this call right quick, I promise, give me 5"
The man walks out and Airi gets back on the phone
"Sorry about that, my husband and daughter are being extremely needy tonight" she laughs
"It's fine, just get me that chapter by next week so we can get this show on the road.. When I Look At You... I can see it in every book store now" she says sounding excited
Airi smiles " Well, imma handle them and get you.. this chapter" she says saying goodbye
The phone call ends and and airi starts to put her stuff away, she opens a drawer and sees the hoodie she hid at the bottom... it was tray's. She couldn't get rid of everything after he passed... she needed a piece of him, this book just wasn't gonna be enough.
It's been 14 years and he is constantly on her mind, she missed him but she promised herself, for him that she would start a life, a family, and have a fresh start. Now living in LA, she is author, she always thought singing would be her path, but ever since her therapist told her to write her feelings, she changed paper and pen to finding a publisher and making things come to life.

Airi looked at the hoodie and grabbed it, pulled it to her chest and smelled it.. the scent of him was gone but she felt such nostalgia from when he wore it, and when she would always steal it. She held it close, "this book if for you Tracy Billingsley," she smiles and her eyes begin to water "for us." Toby walked in. "Honey are you almost don- oh I'm sorry" he says walking slowly
"No no, it's fine, I just, I just miss him sometimes, she says quickly smiling."
"No I get it, I mean, that was your first love, I knew from the night of your birthday dinner all those years ago I couldn't compete with him... I'm just lucky enough to get the chance to be your husband.. to have the family we've created." He says leaning on his knee looking up to her
She smiles and gives him a kiss, she holds her hand to his face and folds the hoodie back up, places it in the drawer and puts her notes on top.

"Mommy!! Daddy!!" Kai yells, she was 5 but so smart
"Coming" Toby yells, "We better go find out what's going on" he smiles getting up
He holds his hand out and and Airi takes it, she smiles and they walk out
Before leaving she looks at the drawer.. and with that.. she left the room, turned off the light, and closed the door.

The End.
