Read where it all began in the final installment of The Beautiful Series. Sarah Thompson: You already know Gabe and I get our Happily Ever After. You might be asking yourself what’s the point in this story when you already know the outcome? We get married. We have a child. The thing is, while we get to the happy part, it was a difficult and turbulent ride to get to that very point. I made choices. He made choices. We both made choices and sometimes they were filled with regrets. But you can’t change it. And I wouldn’t want to because we grew from it. We learned. We fell in love. With Gabe? They were the most tear-filled, screaming and yelling moments of my life. They were disastrous and ugly. And I wouldn’t change them for anything. Why you ask? They became the most beautiful choices of my life. So for that sole reason—I wouldn’t change a damn thing. Gabe Prescott: I made very few choices in life. For the most part people made my choices for me. I never got to choose anything . . . besides Sarah Thompson. The beautiful, blonde haired selfish-bitch who was best friends with my boy Ryder. I honestly don’t know how the hell he survived that cold-heart. Yet somehow I melted that icy heart and fell in love. I made that choice. And while the road was sometimes the ugliest, it still to this day is the most beautiful choice I ever made. less
