Bryony came over, looking excited. “Emily, did I tell you? The island’s been booked!”
Emily’s eyes widened with astonishment. “Really? All three rooms in the cabin?”
Bryony nodded eagerly. “Yes, but it’s called a chalet now, darling.” She winked. “All three rooms. So it had better be ready for April!”
“Let’s go and see the progress!”
EPILOGUE
A magical sunset hovered above Daniel’s boat as he rode it carefully through the gentle ocean. In the boat, Emily was huddled beside Chantelle, Patricia beside her. Amy and Harry were snuggled up together at the stern, Clyde, Evan, and Stu taking up the rest of the space.
“This is definitely the most people we’ve had on the boat,” Chantelle said. “A grandma, two parents, a pair of fiances, three amigos, one kid, and an almost baby!”
Everyone laughed.
They reached the island and Daniel helped them all get on shore.
“I honestly have no idea what to tell the girls about this,” Patricia said, referencing her friends in the DA. “I mean an island, Emily. How audacious.”
“Can I start the bonfire?” Chantelle asked Daniel.
“Actually,” Daniel said, “I have a surprise. We’re not having a bonfire tonight. We’re having a real log fire.”
Emily looked at him, surprised. He led them to the cabin. Though it was still just a shell, with only a few rooms complete, one of them was the main living space. It had wonderful floorboards and ceiling beams, looking every inch the luxurious chalet Bryony had marketed it to be. And there at the far end was a gorgeous fireplace made of marble.
“Daniel,” Emily gasped. “You made this?”
Daniel nodded. “Do you like it?”
“It’s incredible!” Emily cried.
He crouched down and got the fire going. From his basket he produced all the ingredients to make s’mores, and they toasted the marshmallows on the fire.
With the fire glowing and filling the room with warmth, the sun setting through the empty window frame, Emily felt so filled with gratitude for everything she had. Though life was fleeting, and her father would not be in hers for much longer, there was a lot to be thankful for. Friends, family, and unforgettable moments like these.
Emily thought of Daniel, of the determination she’d seen in his eyes over dinner. And she thought of Stu, Clyde, and Evan, his three amigos, his trusty companions. She had every faith that they would get everything finished in time for April.
She thought of Daniel, opening his own shop. She thought of her baby, coming soon. She thought of Chantelle, getting older each day. And for the first time in a while, she was able to look toward her future in the way that Harry looked toward his—with the glass half full, with anticipation of change but not fear of it, with wide eyes, eager.
Ready.
