And it was all Elmore could do not to cry. Because she was there. They were all there. His family. Finally. They were whole. And he felt whole. For the first time, maybe ever.
No, that wasn’t true. There’d been that day in Central Park, when the clouds parted and God gave him his Eve. She with all her spunk and charm and he with all his pent-up anger and hurt. They’d come together as if in a dream, a match for the ages. A miracle in plain sight. The mismatched pair stuck together in masterful perfection.
So, when Elmore Thaddeus Nix walked outside the next morning, the sun casting its magnificent rays upon him, like a kissed blessing, all he could think to say to the heavens was, “Thank you”.
What a blessing it was to be able to say that.
I hope you enjoyed this story.

About the Author
C. G. Cooper is the USA TODAY and AMAZON BESTSELLING author of the CORPS JUSTICE novels (including spinoffs), The Chronicles of Benjamin Dragon and the Patriot Protocol series.
Cooper grew up in a Navy family and traveled from one Naval base to another as he fed his love of books and a fledgling desire to write.
Upon graduating from the University of Virginia with a degree in Foreign Affairs, Cooper was commissioned in the United States Marine Corps and went on to serve six years as an infantry officer. C. G. Cooper's final Marine duty station was in Nashville, Tennessee, where he fell in love with the laid-back lifestyle of Music City.
His first published novel, BACK TO WAR, came out of a need to link back to his time in the Marine Corps. That novel, written as a side project, spawned many follow-on novels, several exciting spinoffs, and catapulted Cooper's career.
Cooper lives just south of Nashville with his wife, three children, and their German shorthaired pointer, Liberty, who's become a popular character in the Corps Justice novels.
When he's not writing or hosting his podcast, Books In 30, Cooper spends time with his family, does his best to improve his golf handicap, and loves to shed light on the ongoing fight of everyday heroes.
Cooper loves hearing from readers and responds to every email personally.
