Epilogue

“Three, two, one! Happy New Year!” Pandora danced and cheered and hugged with Julia and Quinn, but she saved her kiss for her husband.

“I love you, Mr. Remington.”

“I love you, Mrs. Remington.” Because of her bulging baby bump, Pandora struggled to reach her arms all the way around Calder. At the end of her six-month lease, they’d moved back into Calder’s home, but because of their still-growing family, they were in the process of selling that house and looking for something larger.

All their friends had squeezed inside for the night. Natalie and Anna, Lila and Martin, Gloria and Harold, Patricia and Heath, Cooper and Mason, along with many of the other men on Calder’s SEAL team, as well as their wives.

The biggest surprise of all was realizing what a small world it was when encountering her former counselor Ellie, who’d married Calder’s friend, Deacon. She and Ellie hugged it out, with Pandora apologizing for having given her such a hard time. Ellie warmed Pandora’s heart by thanking her for proving her volunteer work really did make an eventual difference by touching lives.

“Where are you?” Calder asked as they danced to “Auld Lang Syne.”

“Just thinking what an amazing life we’ve built in such a short time. I feel reborn.” She kissed him. “All thanks to you.”

“You’ve done a lot for me, too, you know.” With his hands low on her hips, she wouldn’t be too sad when the party was over. If the kids cooperated, they’d finally be alone.

“Oh, yeah?” she teased. “Like what?”

“Let’s see.” He stopped dancing to touch his finger to his lips as if feigning deep thought. “I’ll always be grateful for your meat loaf....”

That earned him a swat. “I’m trying to be serious.”

“Oh, Mrs. Remington, I’m very serious. And to prove it, look what I found under your snowflake ice sculpture—it chipped off.” He slipped a sparkling square-cut gold-and-diamond solitaire onto her left-hand ring finger, nestling it alongside her gold wedding band.

“Calder?” She released him to put her hands over her mouth. “You’re crazy! I don’t need this. We talked about how all our savings needed to go into the new house.”

“Unless you’re planning on leaving your hand behind, by that definition, the ring will move right along with us.”

Pandora hated how her pregnancy had her crying more than ever, but she’d say this was just cause. When they’d married, the legal fees incurred from bringing Julia back into her life had prevented Calder from affording an engagement ring.

“Besides, Heath took me to the same guy he bought Patricia’s ring from and he gave me an awesome military discount.”

“I still say you’re crazy.”

He grabbed her left hand and tugged at her new sparkler. “Want me to take it back?”

“No.” She kissed her ring, then him. “I love this ring, but most of all, I love you. Thank you, Calder, for saving my life.”

He winked before flashing his slow, sexy grin. “I’m a SEAL. That’s what I do.”
