Epilogue #1

Eight weeks later …

I never did end up going back to live in the dorm. When I’m not in class or studying in the library, I’m being chauffeured around in Caleb’s Hummer or on his motorcycle, which he only let me ride once my finger was healed enough for me to hold on to him tight. We spend every night together, either at the lake house or on his boat.

We hang out with Millie and Bo when we can, although last time we went to one of Bo’s parties, Caleb ended up lunging at Hayes and had to be pulled off of him by Bo and a bunch of the other football players. Hayes had touched my hair and said something about the color of my eyes. In his defense, he’d only just arrived at the party and didn’t realize Caleb and I were together. It took two weeks for Hayes’s black eye to fade but at least he got a lot of sympathy from the groupies.

Caleb’s brother Gage found a local therapist that was recommended to him, who happens to be a veteran with PTSD himself. Caleb goes twice a week and even brought me with him once. He’s able to talk more and more openly about everything that happened, and it’s helping.

He still has nightmares once or twice a week. But I know how to soothe him. I hold him and kiss him and whisper calming words to him. Love words. He said he can find his way back to me now, and even looks for me when the dreams turn to nightmares. He says he knows I’ll be there, waiting to guide him back to the light.

We’ve talked about it, and I’m hoping Caleb decides to retire from active duty. I don’t want to push him into anything he doesn’t want to do, but he’s leaning in that direction, even without my gentle but zealous encouragement. My hope is that he won’t have to leave me. I know he has reasons for serving, and I admire everyone who chooses to do it, but I think he’s done enough. Maybe I’m just being selfish. I want to keep him.

He once told me he was financially independent by the time he was eighteen, and he’s now almost twenty-five. When I asked him about it, and what he might do if he wasn’t in the Marines, he told me his investments had tripled while he was overseas.

Which basically means he has more money than anyone I’ve ever met.

In other words, he doesn’t have to work. At all. Ever again. Which sort of boggles my mind. We’ve been talking about what he might do, aside from watching his investments grow and adding to his portfolio. He’s considering starting a business, but for now, he can concentrate on taking care of me, he said, and getting well again.

I love his lake house, and he’s asked me to redecorate some of the rooms if I want to, to make it ours instead of just his.
