Epilogue

One year later...

The door opened. A gust of cold winter air followed Noah inside. Rachel wiped her hands on her apron. She was so nervous, but in a gut way. She’d waited all day to tell him her news.

Standing in the doorway, she watched her mann shake the snow from his hat and hang it on the peg by the door. He shucked his jacket next and caught her watching him.

Color warmed her cheeks at his smile and the intensity of his gaze on her as he came to her side. Taking her in his arms, Noah kissed her tenderly. Even now, at times, she couldn’t believe he was her husband.

After leaving the sheriff’s department, Noah had worked so hard to become a member of the community, earning Bishop Aaron’s trust, as well as the trust of the Plain people. He told her many times how important joining the church had been for him. Second only to their wedding day.

She recalled that time a year earlier when she’d learned the truth about her biological daed. Her mamm told her Allan had left her without explanation and filed for divorce soon after. Mamm had been distraught at being divorced because she believed she would be shunned by her community, but she’d explained the circumstances to the bishop serving the community at the time and he’d determined Beth was not at fault. He’d allowed her to marry Ezra and kept Beth’s secret, not sharing it with Bishop Aaron when he took over the community.

Rachel had asked her mamm why she’d chosen to tell them their father had died. Beth said it was because she didn’t want either of her girls to think their daed didn’t want them when he left her. It took Beth a long time to realize Allan had been a troubled man. As much as Rachel was happy to know her daed had reached out to them before his death, in her mind, Ezra would always be the man she thought of as her father.

The key Eva hid in her cloak belonged to a safety deposit box at a bank in Eagle’s Nest, where the original will of Allan Miller was found, along with the deed to his home in Billings, and letters to both Rachel and Eva. In them, Allan poured out his heart to his girls and asked for their forgiveness. Both Rachel and Eva willingly gave it.

Though Rachel had asked Noah many times since their life together began, the answer was always the same. He missed nothing about his former time as a deputy. He loved their life together.

“Was iss letz?” Noah asked, his smile disappearing. He must have seen something on her face.

“Nothing is wrong,” she quickly assured him. Unable to keep the truth to herself any longer, she blurted out, “I am pregnant, Noah. We are going to have a boppli.”

She stared up at him, praying he would be as happy as she.

Bemusement shifted to happiness. He lifted her in his arms and swung her around.
