Epilogue: Misty

“I’m nervous,” Misty confessed.

“I promise, there’s no need to be nervous,” Ty said.

Misty frowned up at him. “I always spend Christmas working. I don’t know how to do Christmas.”

“Trust me, with Iris and the kids, you’re not going to have to do anything,” Ty said dryly. “They do Christmas enough for everyone.”

Ty’s whole family had decided, apparently as one, that they absolutely had to come up to Montana for Christmas to meet Ty’s new mate. They were on their way from the airport now, en masse.

“Why are they all showing up at once?” Misty wondered for the first time. “Aren’t most of the kids in college all over the place?”

“They coordinated their flights,” Ty said with a shrug. “They’re a force to be reckoned with, strategically.”

Thanks, no doubt in part, to ex-Marine Uncle Ty. Uncle Ty, whom they all adored, and whom Misty had stolen away to the frozen north. Her nervousness increased.

“Here they come!” Ty said, sounding delighted. He went to the door, where a big van was pulling into the drive. Misty took a deep breath and followed.

The crowd that piled out of the van seemed, at first, to be impossibly large, like Ty’s family was its own football team or something. Eventually, they resolved into eight distinct people, but it took some careful attention on Misty’s part.

“Misty, this is my sister, Iris.” Ty had his hand on her shoulder and was moving forward to hug a tall, beautiful woman with her hair in a million tiny braids.

Iris returned the hug with interest, and then came forward to take Misty’s hand in both of hers. “Misty, I’m so happy to finally meet you. Sorry to descend on you in force like this.” She smiled. “The kids are probably going to want to spend most of the time shifting and exploring, so hopefully you and I can get to know each other in peace.”

“After the big party,” Ty put in.

“After the big party,” Iris agreed. She let Misty’s hand go, but it was taken up again almost immediately by her husband.

“Can’t say how impressed I am by what Ty’s told us about you,” he said sincerely. “Sounds like you’re doing a great job of keeping the peace up here.”

“Thanks,” Misty said, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Not by the need to impress Ty’s family, like she’d thought she would be, but by how nice they were being.

Ty, meanwhile, was being swarmed by a gaggle of young adults, all wanting to tell him about their final exams or their new jobs or whatever else had been going on in their lives. He was hugging everyone and looking happy as a clam.

Misty thought about watching Ty be that happy, about getting to know the smiling couple who seemed to already think Misty hung the moon. About really doing Christmas, for maybe the first time in her life—her father had mostly worked on Christmas, talking grimly about family gatherings and the potential for violence.

Looking around at the delighted faces surrounding her, Misty thought maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
