by Jean Oram
Love conquered the world. Saved the day and changed men.
Everything was going to be okay. Everything was working out.
For the first time, Daphne was really and truly happy. While her earlier happiness had never been an act, her old self felt like a sepia photo compared to where she was now. She was blessed to be a part of something bigger—a true, loving relationship with Evander. They were good for each other. Not just today, but tomorrow, and in the coming months and years. He was a keeper. Evander made her want to try harder. To be a better person and to make a bigger difference and she knew she could with him by her side.
Nate from Environment Canada had texted her on the drive over, asking her if she’d work as a consultant here and there. She’d said yes. She could still help change the world, but still have the freedom to be where she needed to be. For Tigger. For Evander. For herself.
She blew her boyfriend a kiss, waited for him to catch it with a shy smile, then turned to go inside with her sisters, who were holding the door for her.
They had the money. They’d done it with their talents and skills and a lot of good luck. Daphne looked up at the ceiling, silently thanking destiny for not only the island that kept the sisters together, but for the men who had come into their lives that summer.
Love.
Lots of love.
She caught up with Tigger, who hadn’t stopped smiling since Daphne had asked if she’d like to move in with Evander and Florence permanently. Tigger would be starting kindergarten after the long weekend, with a whole lot of love in her life thanks to Evander and his mother. Tigger would finally have that father figure in her life, as well as someone to build a tree house for her in the backyard. A man who loved her, doted on her and taught her all the things Daphne was afraid to, such as how to defend herself physically.
And as for Mistral, she agreed with Evander. He had to man up. A lot. She’d give him a chance when he was ready, but she wasn’t going to pin her hopes on him as she had for the past six years. She had someone else in mind when it came to dreaming about her and Tigger’s future.
The sisters stepped up to the counter along with Simone and Tigger. The five adults put checks in front of the clerk as Tigger carefully laid out her coins, one by one, counting softly under her breath.
“This is for Nymph Island,” Daphne said, speaking for all of them.
It was time she stopped acting like the baby in the family, because in many ways she was the most grown-up, the only mother in the group. Well, as far as she knew. Her sisters had each spent a lot of time on the island over the summer and, as Daphne knew, destiny had a way of spreading her love by adding new members to the Summer family.

Thanks goes to my readers the Jeansters for inspiring Evander. They requested a security, army hero who was wounded. I hope I did your request justice. (Don’t tell the other heroes of the Summer Sisters series but Evander ended up being my all-time favorite hero—I may have developed a bit of a crush on him.)
Special thanks also goes to Evelyn Adams, Margaret Carney, Angelique Luzader, Erin Dixon, and Emily Kirkpatrick.
