EPILOGUE

That particular Sunday morning had begun like any other. Felicity Rivers, wrapped in her bathrobe, bent down to pick up the newspapers that had been delivered through the mail slot in her door. She gathered up the pile of yesterday’s mail too.

She sat at the breakfast table, sipping from a mug of coffee, as she idly flipped through the Sunday paper. A large photograph in the Entertainment section caught her eye. Marguerite Ferrara looked like a modern-day princess, stunning in a pale-cream lace and satin wedding gown that hugged her curves before flaring out into a mermaid-style bridal train. She had gathered her blond hair into a chignon—an unusual style for her—and happiness radiated from her eyes.

Next to her, Drew Jackson looked dashing in a tuxedo. According to the article, Drew had made significant improvement since his spinal injury in December; he had progressed from crutches to a cane and had even managed a short and slow wedding dance with Maggie. Like Maggie, the happiness in his smile extended far beyond what words could adequately express.

Social media channels buzzed, apparently aghast at Marguerite’s choice of a partner. Felicity, however, was not surprised. She had seen Maggie, drooping with exhaustion, keeping faithful watch by Drew’s bedside. No one could have loved him more, and no one was more deserving of his love.

Felicity smiled through the ache in her chest. She was happy for them.

She set the newspaper aside and picked up her mail. Her chest tightened as she ripped open an envelope with the loan company’s return address. The pink slip inside reminded her that the ninety-day forbearance period on her brother’s medical school loans, which she had co-signed, had expired, and on top of that, the payments were ninety days overdue. The letter, not politely, threatened to turn the account over to a collections company.

Go for it, Felicity thought bitterly. There was nothing to collect.

She set the collection letter aside and glanced at the rest of her mail. Most of them were store catalogs, but one stood out. It was a small envelope addressed to her in an unfamiliar hand, with a return address, but no name.

She opened the envelope and pulled out a card. It had only three words. I’m so sorry.

It was signed “Cody.”

Trembling with rage, Felicity crumpled the card and flung it across the room. Damn you, Darrell, for dying and leaving me alone, she cursed her brother. And damn you, Cody Hart. You killed my brother.
