“I told you you’d be okay,” she said, smiling. “I told you.”
Epilogue.
This is the part in which one would hope that everyone lived happily ever after, right? Realistically, in most cases, that would be an incredibly far-fetched notion, but lucky for me, things did turn out pretty wonderful.
Conner met my mother. She loved him immediately. She was surprised, I think, that I really had somehow managed to move on. As for Conner’s mother, things took a little more time with her. Julianne never stopped thinking I was crazy, I’m sure, but eventually, and ever so cautiously, she warmed back up.
Channing didn’t have to look very long for a place to live. She moved into the spare bedroom at my mom’s house and turned out to be the best, most non-crazy roommate I could have asked for. I talked her into taking some college classes with me. She’s now working towards a degree to help her be a motivational speaker to young kids.
Shakespeare got out of Craneville not long after I did and moved to California to become a model. He asked me to marry him before he left. I had to decline, of course, but not without letting him get away with a big smooch. He writes frequently.
Henry is still at Craneville. Same room, same deck of cards, same wisdom about him. I think he stays there on purpose to counsel the new crazies coming in. I visit him every week.
As for me, Ava Darton. I’m in love again. With Dr. Conner Walker, with my mother, with my El Camino, and with my life.
Why do I want to live?
Why not?
