And now there isn’t.
They found their pot of gold at the end of their rainbow. I’m proud of these boys. Proud as if they were as real as you and me. They changed me. It’s kind of odd to say that, to know that two men who basically live in my head changed me. But they did. They opened my eyes so much, and because of that, I will carry them in my heart for the rest of my life.
I don’t know if this book is up to par with their other books, but I feel it. I feel them and I know they’re happy, and honestly, that’s good enough.
I tried to pack as much as I could into this book. Glimpses of everyone and moments of laughter. How far we’ve all come since 2014 when #Nerd released.
I’d like to give special thanks to Colleen Blackstone for offering some insight to adoption and children born with NAS. I tried to write that particular plot point with truth and accuracy. I did take some creative license to move things a little faster, so I hope no one takes offense in anything I wrote.
Also, special thanks for Adrienne Ambrose and Kaydence Hebert for the brainstorming sessions and encouragement to get this book out there and complete. Books like this take a team effort, and I definitely couldn’t have done it alone. As always, thanks to my editor, Cassie McCown, for her hard work at editing, even when I send chapters late.
And to all of you who asked—for years—for this book. I hope this is everything you wanted it to be. I hope you are happy with the life these boys chose, and I hope this book gave you all the feels. Thank you for loving Trent and Drew and for keeping them in your hearts for as long as you have. I appreciate you.
See you next book!
XOXO,
Cambria
About Cambria

Besides writing, Cambria loves a pumpkin spice latte, staying up late, sleeping in, and watching K drama until her eyes won’t stay open. She considers math human torture and has an irrational fear of chickens (yes, chickens). You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chihuahuas (the real bosses of the house).
