7 years later

"Now you sit here" Eleanor instructs, taking my shoulders and pushing them down some was sitting on the sofa.

Eleanor then runs away and into her room across the hall, after switching off the light. She placed a small disco ball in the middle of the room, after she came running back in with my gold sparkly dress on top of her butterfly t-shirt and jeans.

It was the same dress I wore to my hen night party, and Eleanor took a shine to it as soon as she could walk.

"Presenting... The Eleanor and Daddy show!" Dan comes strutting in after her, with Eleanor's toy piano in one hand, and a toy microphone in the other.

"Tonight, we present to you, the best, the coolest, the most talented... Eleanor!" Dan yells, sitting on the small kids chair, the piano placed in his lap, before handing Eleanor, the microphone.

"Thank you. Tonight I'm going to be singing one of mummy's favourite songs. Love me Tender, by Elvis Presley" Eleanor jumps up onto a small stool, and clears her throat.

"Love me Tender, love me sweet
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete
For that I love you so" Eleanor's sweet little voice sings, as Dan plays the little piano.

For the chorus, they both sing loudly together.

"Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling
I love you
And I always will" Dan plays a little piano solo, before they both bow.

Clapping loudly, I stand from my allocated seat, and go up to hug Eleanor.

"That was perfect. You ARE the coolest person ever!" I smile kissing her forehead.

"And you are the bestest piano player I have ever met" I say to Dan, as he bows, before wrapping his arms around me.

He dips his head down slightly to kiss me. "Ewwwww!" Eleanor screams, running into her room.

"Just because we have a little 7 year old, doesn't mean I can't still kiss and cuddle her mummy!" Dan yells. Laughing, I rest my head on his shoulder.

"How did we get so lucky?" I sigh, taking Dans hands.

"Because you deserve it" Dan whispers. Kissing him softly, I wrap my arms round his neck.

"How about we make another one of those?" I whisper, looking down the hall to make sure Eleanor wasn't looking.

"I'm down for that" he half smiles. "Your so prettyyy" he drags out, playing with the ends of my hair.

"Not as pretty as you" I giggle.

"Oh god your so cheesy!" Dan laughs.

"Like cheddar." I smirk.

"Real cliché"

"I know, but I love it"

THAT IS CLICHE OVER OMFG IM CRYING. The picture is Eleanor btw.

I just wanna say how amazing all of you have been to me. It's been almost a year since I started this and I couldn't be happier with the way it's turned out. I'm feeling so happy about this, but also distraught because it's over.

I really can't thank all of you enough for your continuous support throughout the whole journey to here and I'm so grateful for everything you all have done. This wasn't just my book, it was yours and I'm so happy with the amount of people that loved it :)

But that's it now. No sequel, no more epilogues, just this and I'm pretty sure it ended pretty good :) let me know how upset all of you obviously are 😂

I love you guys to the moon and back
