Epilogue

The magic wedding dress fit—as everyone said it would—and Chelsea did see the man of her dreams when she put it on. Of course, she’d already seen him, on a hot day in June when he’d come into her life.

“You look lovely, daughter,” Moira said, helping Chelsea place the veil on her red hair, which had been pinned up for this special day in a lovely updo.

“You are pretty, Chelsea,” Cat agreed. She’d allowed her aunt to take her to the hair salon and get “the works.” For her father’s wedding day, Cat looked so pretty, Chelsea thought. Her new daughter’s locks were evened up nicely. She looked so happy now, all the time, and that happiness radiated from her, lighting the room when she walked in. No, not walked—Cat never walked. She scampered, she scrambled. She chased babies with abandon, and she wasn’t a bad storyteller, either. Just like my mum. A born storyteller. And she read to the kids constantly, when she wasn’t riding with Gage.

Chelsea loved the simple magic of their new family. “I’m so happy. I thought I was happy before, Mum, when it was just me and you. But now…”

“Now you’re going to be a wife and a mother, and a daughter.” Moira smiled. “I’m so happy for you. All mothers have dreams for their children, and I can honestly say that mine have all come true for you.”

Chelsea hugged her, and then held Cat close to her for a long moment. “Thank you, Mum, for everything you’ve done for me.”

“’Twasn’t that way,” Moira said. “We took care of each other.”

“Is there room for Jess and me?” Fiona asked, coming to join them in the room off the main library at Rancho Diablo. “Or is this a special mom-daughter-daughter time only?”

“Come in, girls,” Moira said to Gage’s cousin, who lived at Rancho Diablo, and the redoubtable Callahan aunt. “Look at my daughter, old friend, and tell me what you see.”

“I see a woman in love,” Fiona said gleefully. “And I just spied a man who’s more in love and chomping at the bit to have you at the altar. Is there anything better than a July wedding?”

Jonas’s wife, Sabrina, came into the room, smiling when she saw Chelsea. “Gage is going to have heart failure when he sees you,” she told her. “He may not be able to wait for the I dos.”

Chelsea laughed. “He won’t have to wait long. I’m a legal resident, and now I’m ready to be a legal, eager wife.”

Sabrina smiled. “You know my husband is taking full credit for you and Gage getting together? You’d think he was a matchmaking service, the way he’s bragging.”

Chelsea shook her head. “He’s just happy because he’s already got his bride. Thank you so much for agreeing to be my maid of honor.”

Sabrina hugged her. “Wouldn’t have missed it for the world. And your new sister-in-law, Kendall, wants to come in to see you.”

“Good.” Chelsea smiled at Cat. “Will you go get your aunt, sweetie?”

The girl raced off with a grin.
