Epilogue

“Okay, Dad. Why did you call us all here? Did you find the treasure or not?”

Evie suppressed a smile. Leave it to Caitlin to cut to the heart of the matter. Several days before, everyone in the Cutter and McBride families had answered a mysterious summons to come to Cooper’s Landing. E-mails flew back and forth but no one knew what was going on. When Evie called her dad to try to pry some information from him, all he told her was to pack her bag for the weekend.

So she had. And she’d picked up Sam along the way.

By midafternoon on Saturday, Sophie’s backyard was crowded with people. Caitlin and Meghan had managed to get the weekend off, although Evie had a hunch their quick response had more to do with wanting to meet Sam than to find out what, if anything, had been discovered in Lake Superior!

Tyson was a quiet presence but Evie noticed Jacob was careful to include Sophie’s son in the conversations. According to Patrick, Tyson had joined a support group for people with addictions. He still shied away from attending church services with Sophie, but he’d met Pastor Wallis several times for breakfast.

And it was good to see Faith again, too. And to finally meet Dan and Rachel.

Evie felt an immediate connection with Sam’s twin brother and his wife. To her embarrassment, both Dan and Rachel made a point of seeking her out and thanking her again for tutoring Faith. When Evie tried to downplay her role, Rachel met her gaze evenly and told her it wasn’t only the tutoring sessions that had put their daughter on the right track. The piece of beach glass on the table next to her bed proved it. When Faith had returned to Chicago with Sam and Jacob, she’d told her father about Evie’s prayer asking God to bring something good out of the accident. And, Rachel assured Evie, He had.

It wasn’t the only good thing God had done, Evie thought as she felt the warmth of Sam’s fingers laced through hers. When Sam had time off, they’d been spending it together. Sometimes he drove to Brookfield to see her, and other times she made the trip to Summer Harbor. Each time she visited, it got harder to say goodbye. Not only to Summer Harbor, but to Sam. Once upon a time, she could never have imagined herself with a police officer. Now she couldn’t imagine life without him.

“I agree with Caitlin,” Dan said with a grin. “Not that we don’t appreciate all this wonderful food you’ve provided, but we want some answers now.”

Sam’s fingers tightened and Evie gave him a reassuring squeeze. She knew what he was thinking. Dan was walking now with the use of canes, but the doctor was optimistic he could retire them in time for Faith’s basketball season.

Jacob’s laugh drew Evie’s attention back to the moment. “We can all go in the house and then Sophie can tell you. She’s the one who started this whole thing.
