Chapter 56. Epilogue

Twenty years later

"As you begin another year of togetherness, may you both be blessed with good health and long life so that you will spend many more years in love and happiness. I love you so much, mom and dad. Happy anniversary!" said an emotional Celestine, bringing tears of joy in Sofia and Davion's eyes. It was their twenty-second wedding anniversary and they had arranged for a small get-together at home. Neither of them wanted a party and Celestine took all the pains in the world to give her parents the best time of their lives. At twenty-one, she was the most beautiful girl in the entire state it seemed. In her final year of Cosmetology in Las Vegas, Celestine stayed there since her siblings were such a handful that studying would be impossible at home.

"Thank you, Celine, sweetie," said Sofia, as Celestine kissed her cheek. Celestine turned towards her dad.

"Thank you, Ceecee,' said Davion, as she gave him a hug. Celestine blushed at the nickname.
