Epilogue

This had turned out to be a great day for Amanda, she hadn't been this happy or stress free for a long time. As if her "release" earlier wasn't enough things seemed to be better with her family and overall.

After Michael had calmed down and came home they had a long talk and apologised for the mistakes they both made, going out for a nice dinner and making up. Even Tracey seemed to be in a good mood which was unusual, she'd done all the laundry and dishes while they were out. Now the three of them were lounging around in the living room curled up together with Tracey in the middle just like old times, watching yet another episode of reality TV. Amanda was finally happy, she felt like she'd found what was missing in her life and she now knew how to access it.

Tracey went to bed and Michael and Amanda curled up together.

"You ok?" He asked.

"yeah, I'm great" she said, holding her husband and smiling to herself one final time that day.
