EPILOGUE

Della

The crisp mountain air never felt more alive than it did out in the middle of the woods. The tires of Della’s rental car crunched down the gravel road that led to the driveway of a remote little cabin.

Her hands shook just a little on the steering wheel. She debated about turning around and heading back to Denver, but she’d already come this far. She’d waited in airports for hours, flown from Phoenix to Denver, rented a car and driven the hour out along the freeway to the more remote forested area where so many people chose to live or have season cottages.

Della filled her lungs with a deep breath. Breathe in and out. In and out. Don’t turn around. You’ve come too far to stop now.

She navigated her car down the narrow driveway and stopped when the trees gave way to a clearing that contained a small log cabin and a garden beside it. She killed the engine and leaned back against the driver’s seat.

The hard truth was, she missed Thomas. She hadn’t seen him for months. Evie had finally given in and let her have Thomas’ address. She only knew it herself because she had to forward mail from the house to his new place.

Della debated for a few very long days what to do with that information. Should she go to Colorado? Why would she? She couldn’t force herself on a man who didn’t want to be a part of her life. He’d never told her or Evie that he’d forgiven them for what they’d done. He’d just… disappeared.

She missed him. She missed everything about him. Sometimes she dreamt about Thomas. She just wished, above all, that she knew that he was alright. Maybe then she could go on with her life.

The front door of the cabin slowly opened. Della’s lungs deflated as a hard rush of air was torn from them at the sight of the tall, broad-shouldered figure standing on the small, rustic porch. He put a hand up to his eyes to shade them from the sun. He stared at the car, as though trying to figure out who could possibly be inside.

Della forced her shaking hand to the door handle. She climbed out, never once taking her eyes from Thomas’ face. His mouth didn’t fall open in surprise. His eyes didn’t register shock nor did they hold any warmth when he recognized her.

Finally, he stepped down from the porch and walked towards the car. It was a good thing because her flip-flop clad feet were frozen to the ground. The car door was still open and her fingers clutched it to keep herself from falling over.

Thomas stopped right in front of her. His eyes assessed her, raking over her body from head to foot before flickering back up to her face. He looked amazing, like the fresh air had given him new life. His eyes sparkled. He was clean shaven but likely only because half of his one cheek could no longer grow a beard.
