EPILOGUE

BY THE TIME Alexis and Madison participated in their school’s Holiday Pageant in December, Callie and Tyler had gotten into a routine. Callie looked over at Tyler sitting next to her in the school’s cafetorium and smiled. She slipped her hand into his and he squeezed hers.

They’d started off with their original plan for Callie to visit on weekends, but the time went by too quickly. Then one day about a month ago she woke up and had an astounding revelation. Her job meant less to her than Tyler and his girls did. So she went to her superior and asked if she could telecommute. He wasn’t thrilled, but the other choice would have been for her to leave and find another job.

Now that she worked from home—she considered Tyler’s house her home more than her condo ever was—she was able to get the girls to and from school. She could even get them started on homework before Tyler got home.

She continued to volunteer at the women’s shelter since new residents arrived more frequently than she’d ever imagined. Working one-on-one with the women gave her a feeling of satisfaction and pride she hadn’t experienced in her successful career.

“Aren’t they adorable?” Poppy whispered to Callie and Tyler during the applause. She and Gino were sitting in the row behind them.

Gino leaned close and added, “They’ve been practicing their songs for weeks. I think I know them by heart.”

“Shh,” Poppy said to him. “They’re ready to sing the next one.”

Poppy and Gino were each enjoying success in their businesses. Keeping Poppy’s a homier bed-and-breakfast and Gino’s Lincoln Hotel a high-end establishment had been a wonderful compromise. Sharing the chef and an assistant had also allowed them more time together. Poppy had even accepted Gino’s marriage proposal, although they hadn’t set a date yet.

The girls had been more than hinting about Tyler and Callie getting married, especially once Poppy and Gino announced their engagement.

Callie was in no hurry to change their current arrangement, at least for now. One thing she’d learned during their time together was that she could be a pretty good mom to Alexis and Madison and any future children she and Tyler might have.

Her dad, sitting on her left, whispered, “I’m sorry I missed so much of your childhood.”

Callie looked at him, moved by the emotion she saw in his face. She patted his hand. “I know, Dad. I’m glad we’re getting this time together now and that you’re getting to know Eric, as well as Alexis and Madison. They need you in their life as much as you need them.”

Wendy and her son had moved in with Callie’s dad now that her stepmother was in a nursing facility. Ellen’s health had declined and she was rarely coherent. Callie thought the arrangement between Wendy and her dad was a good one for both of them. Wendy no longer feared her husband since he’d gone to prison and wouldn’t be eligible for parole for several years. Testifying against him hadn’t been necessary because he’d been offered a plea deal.
