Lisa says
I hate that Sybastian will never get to know the man that I had dated. He wont every get to know the smile, laughter, and James big heart. I am glad that James is finally done with his struggle with the world and now he can relax, sit back listen to some James Blunt. Let the chapter end on “Dorian Gray” and take comfort in “Monsters” because Sybastian has James heart. Your all in my prayers.
