Dearest Esteemed Jury of Hopeless Romantics, Serial Page-Turners, Certified Swooners, and My ruined readers,
Court is now in session—and your honor, if you've made it to this final summation, then congratulations. You're officially among the elite: The emotionally resilient, the obsessively invested, and—dare I say it?—the blessed.
Case in point: You, my darling reader, have followed every twist, turn, and heart-palpitating plotline straight to its swoony, toe-curling conclusion. I rest my case.
But before we adjourn, let's get a few things on record, shall we?
Exhibit A: You just devoured the final chapter. Bravo.
Exhibit B: Your heart is probably still doing backflips over that kiss, that revelation, or that betrayal.
Exhibit C: You're already itching to know—is this really the end?
Now let me just step into my four-inch courtroom heels and say: Objection!
