Betrayal
Epilogue
A YEAR LATER
It had been a year and Edward Mounds had been sentenced. He had received a
sentence of life without the chance of parole. But, two months after he was
sentenced, he was killed in prison by another inmate. The informant in the
D.A.'s office had been found and sentenced to ten years without the chance of
parole.
Ezra had found out that Orrin had never filed the letter of resignation that
Ezra had given him. So, Ezra had gone back to the team as their undercover
agent. He and Chris were starting to rebuild their friendship. Chris knew that
he had done wrong and just wanted Ezra to be happy. Everything seemed to be
working out.
It was eleven at night when there was a knock on Ezra's front door. Looking out
the peephole, he saw that it was Vin. Opening the door, with a smile, he ushered
him in. "Hello, Vin."
"Hey, Ez. Listen, I think it's time that we had that talk. And, now seemed as
good a time as any."
Ezra nodded his head, agreeing, and led him into the living room. Both of them
sat down on the couch, not speaking. After a few nervous minutes, Ezra spoke up.
"I am ready to try a relationship with you, Vin."
"You're over Chris?"
Ezra nodded, "It has taken a little while. But, I can honestly say that I am
over him. All I want from him now is friendship. Over this past year, I have
fallen completely in love with you, Vin. Do you... still feel the same for me?"
"Definitely. I love you so much, Ez. And, I promise, you'll have no reason to
doubt me. Ever."
"I know," Ezra whispered.
Leaning forward, their lips met in the middle in a tender, loving kiss. When
they stopped the kiss, their lips were still touching.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Ez," Vin murmured against Ezra's lips.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Love." Ezra murmured back, more than ready to start this
new chapter in his life.
