And when the fucker dropped her off, I winced.
Because he met me head-on with his hand held out, as I held a shotgun.
Fuck.
Me.

Epilogue II
Frank
As I watched Bronson dance with Madalyn at the first-ever Whispering Falls Ball, I also smiled when I saw Cole dancing with Lila.
And the reminder that we had almost lost her.
The doctors had given her twenty-four hours... now I love all my children, but Lila, well, she holds a special place in my heart.
Yes, what we endured with Carter all those years ago was worrisome.
But we did get the call that he was going to be okay.
And with Lila... it had been placed in God’s hands.

I laughed as I danced with Carter. Harlee was his other half.
I smiled as I danced with Garrick. Bless Tatum’s heart for being able to soften him.
I swooned as I danced with Alec. Thank you, Cassie, for bringing him back to us.
I giggled as I danced with Dominik. How he and Talia didn’t have at least ten kids by now with how many times they fought... I would never know.
But as I took a breather and sat down beside my husband, I laid my head on his shoulder.
“We did good,” I told him.
He tilted his head and pressed a kiss atop my head, “That we did, my love. That we did.”
‘You're my definition of perfect.’

Epilogue III
Bronson
Ten Years Later
I sat there in that chair, as we waited.
Waited for the news.
Lila was having her second kidney transplant.
