Trail of Secrets(95)

                “We will.”

                Michael shook Uncle Dan’s hand once more and walked to the door. “I’ll never forget any of you.”

                “Neither will we forget you,” her uncle said.

                Michael walked out and closed the door behind him. The three of them were silent for a moment until Dan spoke. “I always knew there had to be someone she loved somewhere. I’m glad he finally has closure.”

                Seth smiled. “What are you going to do now that you no longer have Hope’s case to keep you occupied?”

                “I don’t know,” he said. “I’ll have to look for something. It seems the other problem in my life is taken care of.”

                Callie frowned. “What other problem did you have?”

                Uncle Dan grinned. “Getting you two back together. I’ve been trying to do it for two years. I’m glad you finally listened to me. The sooner we can get you two married, the happier I’ll be.”

                Callie wrapped her arms around Seth’s neck and smiled up at him. “I think we’ve just been sentenced to life without parole.”

                Seth laughed, slipped his arm around Callie’s waist, and pulled her closer. “And no appeals. I love you, Callie.”

                “I love you, too, Seth.”

                She pulled his head down, and his lips pressed against hers. In his kiss she felt the promise of great things yet to come, and she could hardly wait to meet each one with Seth by her side.
