Chapter 100. Epilogue

TWO YEARS LATER

***

“Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Happy New year!” Calista and Cameron screamed at the top of their lungs, jumping and huggoing each other while bursting with excitement.

Chase and Mackenzie were not left out of the celebration. Chase hugged Mackenzie tight as they stood on the balcony of their cottage - the family’s latest property in North Dakota - watching the fire works light up the sky.

Little baby Emily cried in Mackenzie’s arms. Mackenzie looked down at her daughter’s dark eyes and blew her kisses. Soon, the baby started to smile.

“Mummy, do you think Emily would have loved to scream with us?” Calista asked, tiptoeing just so she could see her little sister.

Cameron turned to look at everyone, and stood beside his father. The more he grew, the more he turned into a spitting image of Chase. His father had often joked that by the time Cameron was Chase’s present age, they wouldn’t be able to tell their pictures apart.
