“Alex?”
Alex flinched and looked at Oliver.
“I think this nightmare is finally over.” He smiled and reached out his hand toward her. She returned his smile and grabbed it.
“Have you thought about coming to Maine with me?”
Alex’s smile widened.
“First I’m flying home to my parents.”
“And then?”
“Then I’ll have time to catch lobster with you.”
“There’s more to Maine than just lobster,” Oliver said with a grin. “I’d like to show you everything.”
“I’d like that, too.” Alex smiled, and then her gaze fell on the television. Nick was still on the screen. Someday the shadows would disappear and this nightmare would be just a distant memory.
“Maybe I’ll come back to New York one day,” she said.
She stood up and switched off the television.
