That's what I love about happy endings.. they are like a rainbow after the strom!
I loved the image you've used here Raj.It says 'begin'….I do hope their new beginning is great!
That's one way of escaping, but I wouldn't relax. The police are rather good at this sort of thing. But what a sense of relief she must feel.

Oh my! I didn't get the connection – I'm slow at times! 😉 – until I read Priceless Joy's remarks! Good thing I did. 😉 What a WOW story! I'm at a loss of words Raj! 😉 <3
hahaha that's alright Elly 😀 happens a lot of time 😀
Glad you liked it 😀 Thank you
A brutal happy ending.
thank you Purba 🙂
I hope they make it. I like the tension, and the slow revelation of what she's done. The thunderstorm, the drizzle, the sunshine – really good use of nature as a backdrop.
I am glad you liked it. Thank you 🙂
I enjoyed reading this. It took me a minute to realize she had killed her husband. At least she and the little boy are safe!
thank you for writing in Priceless Joy 🙂
