Epilogue

Three Months Later

Matt leaned back in his chair and watched the group on the sand not far away from Half Moon Bay’s terrace. His sister, Emily, and her husband were huddled under a huge umbrella. Beneath the shade of the blue and white stripped canvas cooed the baby they had struggled to conceive, Samantha Lynn.

Nearby, Amy was sunning herself, talking nonstop to Emily about babies. Despite a rocky beginning, the two had become the best of friends.

“Matt, here’s the latest issue of Exposé,” Trevor said as he came out of the house. “Your article is the feature.”

Matt took his eyes off his wife as Trevor gave him the magazine.

“I’ve already read it,” Trevor told him. “You’ll certainly open the world’s eyes to the latest techniques in brain microsurgery.”

“I hope so,” Matt replied.

Since his own brush with death and the hell of searching for Amy, his view of life had changed. He’d settled in a home on Sunset Key, not far from Half Moon Bay. His career in journalism had taken a different turn. Now, he was content to free lance, writing articles that interested him, so he could spend as much time as possible with Amy.

His latest article featured Dr. Dietz’s revolutionary procedure, which was quickly gaining acceptance in the medical community. The German doctor had saved his life and could help hundreds of other patients with inoperable brain tumors—if the medical establishment would recognize the new procedure.

Trevor pointed to the picture of Matt helping Amy along the shore. “No one would believe you’d had a tumor removed just hours earlier.”

“True, once the doctors would have made me stay flat on my back for days.” Matt leaned forward in his chair, watching Amy take his sister’s baby and cradle the infant to her breast. She was going to make a fantastic mother. “People need to know techniques are changing. Now, they’re performing heart surgery without stopping the heart from beating. The medical world is being transformed every day.”

Trevor sat in the chair next to him and nodded his head toward the group on the beach. “Why don’t you do an article on reconstructive surgery, contrasting it to cosmetic surgery?”

“Good idea.” Matt knew Trevor was proud of the new turn in Clive’s career. After Matt’s revolutionary surgery, Clive had devoted more of his time to helping patients disfigured by accidents or birth defects and performed fewer cosmetic surgeries.

“Shelly, I mean Amy changed us all, didn’t she?” Trevor asked.

“Yes, I—” Matt began but the telephone rang and Trevor rose to answer it.

A few minutes later, he came back. “It’s for you.”

Matt didn’t like Trevor’s strange tone.
