Not the same anymore

Line Up

Leigh's POV

We make our way downstairs to meet everyone. I grab my things and we all head out.

I'm standing in front of the police station just looking at it. "You ok?" Steph asked cautiously.

"Yeah I just I never thought it would be over." I say with unshed tears.

"What do you mean?" Shira asked concerned.

"He's always evaded them and they finally caught him trying to leave." I say grateful.

I make my way up the stairs and to the front desk. "Can I help you?" The officer asked.

"I'm here to see detective Williams." I say.

"Take a seat he'll be right out." He says and I take a seat.

Moments later the detective came out. "Leigh." He says and I look up at him.

"Come with me." He says and I follow him to a room.

"We need you to identify him." He says and I nod.

I looked through the glass and saw several men standing there side by side. I look at each guy and stopped as tears pooled in my eyes. "Number three." I say with unshed tears.

"Thank you. We'll notify you of a court date." He says.

"I live in the states just keep me informed." I say and head back to the others.

Before I can reach them I hear " I love you. We're meant to be. I didn't mean to hurt you don't do this." Jess pleads.

I look at the others and smile. I turned around and faced him. "I don't love you. I'm in love with Logan. You hurt me for the last damn time." I seethe in anger at him.

I feel arms wrap around me and look up and see Logan. "I'm here baby. Always will be. I'm not going anywhere this time." He says lovingly whispering in my ear. I turn and he pulls me into a tight embrace.

We all head out and get back to the cars. "You Alright Mare?" Tristan asked concerned.

"Yeah it's over finally." I say smiling.

"The FBI will be taking custody of him. He went to different states and countries to commit a crime." Mark says and I nod.

"We're going shopping and then lunch." Shira says as she pulls me close.

We make it to the shopping district and Tristan pulls me aside. "Hey Mare I need your help." He asked nervously.

"Sure what is it?" I asked curiously.

"Tomorrow night I want to propose to Paris. Can you cook her favorite dishes and put the ring in the dessert?" He asked.

"Of course. I'll set up the back yard for a romantic night. I'll get stuff all ready and have the others help me." I say sweetly.

"Your the best." He says pulling me into a hug.

We shopped for a few hours and I asked Shira if she wanted to go grocery shopping with me.

Shira's POV

I completely misjudged her. She's an amazing woman and I hope one day she would be my daughter in law one day. "Leigh?" I asked timidly.

"Yeah." She says softly looking at me.

"I want to apologize again for that night." I started but I was cut off.

"It's water under the bridge. Let's move on and start new." She says sincerely.

"Thank you. I'm glad you and Logan are trying again." I say softly.

"I am to. I was heartbroken when he gave me that ultimatum. I really do love him. As you can tell I'm not like most woman I don't care about money. I care about the person." She says honestly with a smile.

"I'm sorry for what happened to your family. It must have killed you." I say choked up as we walked the aisles picking food up.

"Yes it did. If it wasn't for Finn I wouldn't be here from my breakdown. They are the only family I have and I would do anything for them. Also for you and your family as well." She says smiling at me and I smile back.

"What is your favorite dessert?" She asked me. It shocked me. No ones ever asked me before.

"One of my favorites is cannolis. They are so good." I say smiling.

"Well let's also get the ingredients for your favorite dessert. We will also make a Italian dinner tonight." She says smiling.

"That sounds lovely dear." I say sincerely and give her a hug.

We finished shopping and headed back to the house. "Want to help me cook dinner and dessert?" She asked me.

"I would love to." I say and help her bring in the groceries. We placed them on the counter and unpacked everything.

"Now we are not using that crap canned or jarred sauce we're going to make our own." She says.

"That sounds great let's get started." She says. She noticed a box on the counter with her name on it and she opened it.

"Oh my god." She said with tears and I could hear the pain in her voice.

I make my way to her and look in the box. Oh god and I pale. "Mitchum." I screamed for him. I held her close and cried with her. I was terrified for her.

Everyone came rushing in and saw what was in front of them and I could tell their hearts were breaking. "What's wrong?" Mitchum asked scared.

"Look in the box." I say choking up and held her tighter.

They all looked in the box as Logan Honor and Finn came to us. "It's alright love." Finn said his heartbreaking for the woman he looks at as a sister.

"Baby I'm here. We all are. I love you." Logan says passionately.

I can see the love that they have for each other. I knew someday she would be my daughter in law and I couldn't wait.

What was in the box? Who was it? Was it the stalker? Or was it Jess and his last ditch effort?
