Shaun and Halsey finally reached their happy ending, and Wendy couldn’t help but tear up.

Her best friend had finally married the man she truly loved.

Wendy’s eyes blurred with emotion as she clapped hard.

She looked down and saw five long, clean fingers wrapped in the cuff of a crisp white shirt. The man wore a sleek silver watch on his wrist, his presence calm and refined. He held out the tissue to her, and when Wendy lifted her gaze, she saw it was Stanley.
