“I’m sorry I’m late,” she said in an elegant voice. “My flight was delayed, but I wouldn’t miss this day for the world.”
Christos turned to her. Shock blotted out all the expression on his face as he went white. His face sagged. He looked like he was seeing a ghost. He was absolutely stunned when he said, “Mamá?”
The woman opened her arms to her son, “Paidí mou…”
My jaw dropped.
“Vesile?” Nikolos gasped. “Kardia mou?”
Vesile looked between Christos and Nikolos with silent tears dripping from her eyes. She said, “I’ve missed you both.”
THE END.
For now…

A NOTE FROM DEVON:
Every ending is always a beginning. I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to Samantha, Christos, Romeo, and the gang as I penned (err, typed…it’s not like I used a fountain pen) the final scenes of this book. I literally slowed down in my writing because I didn’t want things to end.
I have so many stories left to tell about the gang, as you may have noticed. What does Spiridon do when he’s out? What happened between him and Professor Walt Childress so many years ago to make Spiridon stop painting? What about Madison and her surf shop with Jake? Will Kamiko end up a doctor or an artist? What about Romeo? You know he’s destined for something flamboyantly spectacular.
And of course, there’s Nikolos and Vesile. Theirs is a love that makes me literally weep when I think about it. How else can you explain how Christos turned out so awesome? He had the best role models imaginable until the stresses of life tore Nikolos and Vesile apart. Who wants to hear their story? I know I do.
And last but not least, Tiffany.
She wasn’t such a bitch after all.
No wonder Christos always treated her so well.
What’s going to happen to Tiffany? Her life is a total mess. I’d love to know!
Wow, there’s so many stories left to tell about my San Diego homies.
But for now, they all need a rest. They’ve been on set, performing their hearts out for you, dear reader, for the last nine months! ;-)
Now it’s Victory Payne’s turn. She wants to be a rockstar. Like, really, really badly.
And who doesn’t love a good rockstar story?
