■ epilogue

                            smoke escaped from her lips as she shuffled through the photographs of her and leo, putting out the cancer stick in the ashtray.

         she sighed, closing her eyes as she tried to forget about her relationship. she smoked because she couldn't forget his smile or his laugh; she smoked because of their memories together.

       she smoked because she loved him.

         before she could place the photographs back into the drawer, she looked at the picture of the day they were officially a couple. 

"let's create a memory, we'll call it the perfect day."

         she wiped away the unnecessary tears, putting the paper memories away.

    "nicole?"

|| the inspiration behind the book.

              this book was inspired not only by leonardo dicaprio's amazing self, but it was written for the intention of love, and loss of a relationship.

     i wrote this out of both boredom and out of an insomniac-filled night. i had written this story before, but i didn't like the way it was going. now that i have written this, i'm quite glad that i can have room for another dicaprio story.

            just a note for everyone who has read this: there WILL NOT BE A SEQUEL! But, there might be another dicaprio story in the future.

        have a good night everyone, i really am glad you all came on this journey with me.

avoir, adios, bye.

i love you all!
