  “I don’t want you to go to any trouble—”

  “It’s no trouble. Don’t be silly.”

  “After the ceremony, I thought Joseph and I might come here for a few days,” Samantha said.

  “We could throw a party,” Wendell said. “I’ll build a stage right here in the park and we can bring up some tables.”

  “Phyllis can bake a cake and Molly can gather some flowers,” Prudence added. “It’ll be grand.”

  Samantha squeezed Prudence’s hand and then leaned over to crush Wendell in a hug. After twenty years and so many changes from the day she’d woke up as a ten-year-old with no memory they had stuck by her side. Their love and friendship had survived despite all the obstacles placed in their way. Nothing, not Reverend Crane or Veronica or the fountain or time itself could tear them apart.

  As they continued to make plans for the wedding, a scream drew Samantha’s eye to where Molly and Jackie were playing. They scampered across a patch of grass, chasing each other back and forth as they played tag. The girls’ squeals echoed across the meadow and back through time to twenty years ago, to Samantha and Prudence when they were young.

  The End

  Also by P.T. Dilloway:

  A Hero’s Journey (Tales of the Scarlet Knight, Volume 1): Dr. Emma Earl never wanted to be a hero. But when she finds a magic suit of armor that can deflect bullets and turn her invisible, she becomes part of an ancient war between good and evil. It’s up to Emma as the latest incarnation of the heroic Scarlet Knight to save Rampart City from the fiendish Black Dragoon and his plan to rule first the city and then the whole world.

  The Hazards of Love (Tales of the Scarlet Knight, Volume 3): Terror grips the streets of Rampart City as a killer stalks its citizens, cutting the hearts from his victims. For Emma Earl, the Scarlet Knight, the trail leads to an ancient evil reborn and a confrontation with the person she cares about the most!

  Girl Power: When a supervillain's weapon turns Earth's greatest male heroes into its greatest heroines, they enter a whole new world. Can Apex Girl, Velocity Girl, the Mermaid, and Midnight Spectre come together in time to save the world?

  Chance of a Lifetime (Chances Are #1): When Detective Steve Fischer investigates a robbery, he’s murdered by a gangster and injected with an experimental drug known as FY-1978. Thanks to the drug, Steve comes back—as a woman. Now Stacey Chance has to find those responsible and make them pay.
