  Love your Lasting Summer

  Epilogue

  Nat

  When I read Summer’s letter to me, I found myself smiling. She had hit the nail on the head with what our relationship truly was. I was the big brother, the idol she never had, yet wanted to be like. Even writing a letter like the ones I always wrote her.

  I should have felt sad or angry about her choosing to be with Drew but I also knew she was right about living life to the fullest. She was living hers, and so was Drew, but was I?

  I missed certain aspects of my life as Nat Donovan, but I was beginning to enjoy the new one as Cooper or Troy or Bob or whatever cover I will have to have in order to keep ahead of Xavier and his cronies. It was an adrenaline-pumping adventure I never thought I’d come to enjoy…especially the part where I get the satisfaction of helping Lamar shut down an operation and put these guys behind bars.

  “Will I ever have my life back again?” I asked Lamar. “Will I ever get to return to being Nat Donovan?”

  “That’s a sound iffy, Nat. For now, to keep yourself safe, and to be able to work for us to get this crime ring completely busted, you would have to be this other person. This is the way for you to still help Summer out, and still be close enough to her.”

  “But not as myself,” I said. “When could I be myself with her?”

  “When we bust this cybercrime ring, and bring all of them to justice so you, Summer, and Summer’s mother are safe.”

  So as fate would have it, this was the way it would go, and Summer was smart enough to realize it. “Summer,” I said to myself. “Thank you for letting me go fulfill my destiny.”

  Summer

  A Second Ending

  I was 18 when I made the decision to be with Drew at the time, leaving Nat to fulfill his destiny with his new life and new identity. Little did I know at age 28, Nat and I would find ourselves together as we were when we were during that last summer I knew him as Nat. Drew assumed the helm at Donovan Dynamics and has been an even better CEO than his own father, much to everyone’s surprise. With that glory and victory came some steep danger and enemies. Now Drew is missing, and I need Nat to help me find him. Problem is, I don’t know if Drew’s illness had kicked in or was it truly something else. I don’t know, but I do know that only Nat can help me find him, and despite the years we’ve been separated, I could still feel my heart race when I talk to him, I still feel like that little girl who worshipped the very ground Nat walked on when I think of him. We are not of an age to truly think about settling down – Drew, Nat, and I…now I will need to know everything between us.
