Epilogue
“Oh come on!” Megan begged. “You guys owe me.”
She was bouncing up and down on Sam’s bed as she and Devon poured over Boston University’s sophomore course catalog.
“We owe you?” Devon asked, winding his arms around Sam, who was sitting in his lap. “How’s that?”
“Because, when the three of us rented this apartment it was all, This is gonna be fun, Meg. We’re gonna have amazing adventures, Meg. It’ll be like the three amigos, Meg.”
“Have we not been amigos?” Sam asked pretending to be hurt.
“You two have! You spend like every waking second together. I hate being the third wheel. We need to go out and do stuff so I can meet someone.”
“We do stuff,” Devon said.
“Yeah watch movies!” Megan retorted.
“You’re a film major!” Sam laughed. “You’re the one who drags us to the movies.”
“Yeah but you promised me adventures.” Megan pouted as she pulled the course catalog away from Sam and Devon and started flipping through it.
“We’ve gone on adventures,” Devon argued, trying to hide his smirk. “We’ve done all the cool Massachusetts stuff.”
“Ew, we did all the tourist stuff that I did on fifth grade field trips. I want four-leafed clovers, and fiddles and magic. I want real adventure!” Megan said, shoving the course catalog back under their noses. She’d folded the page back to the study abroad section and circled the Ireland exchange program in pink highlighter. “Please?” she squeaked bouncing even faster.
Devon and Sam glanced slyly at each other, trying not to give away their secret just yet. They’d already signed up for the program the minute they saw it while registering as freshmen. They signed Megan up too without her knowing. It was a hard program to get into and you had to sign up a year in advance. They’d been put on the waiting list until two weeks ago when Sam got an email saying the three of them had been accepted. Apparently, thanks to Zander. He pulled some strings and said that he needed three interns to help him at Cor-Tec, which he was running fulltime. Zander had even fabricated some film documentary nonsense so that Megan would have a reason for interning at an international software company. It was clearly obvious that he had a crush on Megan. Zander was always making up excuses to Skype with Devon and then asking if Megan was around. It was adorable.
Now Devon and Sam were just toying with Megan. They loved her to death, but it was kinda fun to watch her squirm a bit.
“I don’t know?” Sam started. “I’m not sure I want to go back to Ireland.”
“Yeah, me either,” Devon replied.
“But I’d give anything to go to Ireland,” Megan whined.
Sam and Devon grinned at each other. Sam would give anything to go back there too . . . well almost anything, she thought as she laced her fingers with Devon’s.
“We’re in!” they said in unison.

Acknowledgments
I’d like to thank everyone who made this book possible. To my husband, whose unyielding belief and encouragement forces me to pour my best self onto each and every page. To Molly, Megan, and Terese, three of the most amazing women I know, who take time out of their lives to let me blab endlessly about my books while they help make them shine. You’ll always be Irish in my eyes, and I’m blessed to call you friends. Thank you for letting me bribe you with s’mores and beer. To Vince for literally sitting by my side during every word, edit and rewrite. You are the stinky heartbeat at my feet and I wouldn’t trade you for the world. To my Nana, for blessing me with my stubbornness and wit inherent in all strong Irish women. To Ireland, for being such a charming country, full of more magic than I can ever squeeze into a book. To my parents for teaching me that love conquers all. And to everyone who still believes in it. And to all of you who are taking the time to read this to the very end.
