Cora’s mouth drops open as she looks between me and the boat. “Griff, this is a lot,” she says.

“I know.”

I park the car and get out, going around to her side to open the door. She puts her hand in mine before stepping out, her eyes still wide as she looks up.

The salt air ruffles her hair as it blows across the ocean. Cora beams with a smile as we head toward the yacht and get on.

She takes off her heels, setting them in the small basket on deck. I toss my own in the same basket before leading her to the top deck.

Cora sits on one of the cushions at the stern, stretching her legs out in front of her. “So, is this yours?”

“Nope.” I sit beside her and lean against the cushions as the crew works to get the boat off the dock. “Just something I wanted to do for you for the night. I can’t imagine owning a boat right now. It seems like a lot of upkeep that I don’t have time for.”

She nods and tilts her head back, looking up at the pink and orange streaks radiating from the setting sun. “You

    When she doesn’t respond, I slip my phone back into my pocket. My headquarters for the beginnings of the nonprofit I’m starting is in Atlanta. It will be perfect to have Faith there. Maybe she can help out. I’ve really missed having her around.After I left Kenya, she became a nanny to a US Ambassador, who ended up going home. I’d thought I’d have to go back to Kenya to see Faith.After moving back to Georgia, I got my own place in Blue Mountain, but then I ended up spending most of my time in Atlanta at the company so I bought a condo in a high rise, the same building where Weston and Callie have a place for when he has to work at the main office.I hate working at the Keith Enterprise headquarters and would prefer to work from Blue Mountain. But for now, that doesn’t seem to be possible.I take a seat at a table, and Jenni and Langston sit with me.Jenni leans across the table in a conspiratorial way. “We want to know who you were texting just now.”“What makes you think I was texti

    EPILOGUEBrensenSix months laterLangston’s house is packed when I get there for his engagement party. Everyone is out in the backyard surrounding the grill, sitting out at tables spread across the lawn beneath maple trees that are bright orange and red. It’s still not that cold outside, but this is Georgia, after all. It never gets much of a winter to begin with. It’s more like fall slowly turns into spring with a few chilly days in between.Still, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the seasons changing. Kenya doesn’t get much of a fall.Powell is manning the grill, stacking up piles of chicken legs, hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, and steaks. There’s a table laden with food, including potato salad, coleslaw, green salad, baked beans, and a variety of desserts. Knowing Powell’s cooking, it’s probably all delicious too.“You sure know how to throw a shindig,” I tell Langston when I come up to him where he’s standing by his new fiancée. She’s holding a bundle in her arms. “Is this the new

    “But it’s so much more fun when you do.” It’s true too. I’m all about hearing about other people’s love lives.“Which never happens,” Langston says. “That makes me think he’s hiding something.”Brensen only smiles bigger. “Oh, man. This is fun. It’s been ages since we just sat here at Harvey’s shooting the breeze.”Dolores shows up with our food and takes Ronnie and Brensen’s orders.I dig into my chicken sandwich while Brensen tells us all about Kenya. “I want to start a nonprofit over there to help all the poverty-stricken children there.”“Hey, me too,” I pipe up. “I was just saying I want to start an orphanage in India. Maybe we could have one in Kenya too.”“I know some people who could help make that happen,” Brensen says. “But it looks like Dad wants me to come back here and work for the company.”“Is that the real reason you’re back?” Langston asks.“Yep. But I did want to see you two love birds too. Even if you are completely nauseating.”“So it’s not just me then?” Ronnie th

    * * *“I’ll have the chicken sandwich,” I tell Dolores when we’re settled in our booth at Harvey’s.“And I’ll have a bacon cheeseburger.” Langston hands her the menu.“That’s what you always get,” I say.“I know what’s good.” He leans down and kisses my lips, and I savor every bit of the moment.“Oh my goodness, look at how adorable the two of you are,” Dolores says. “I always knew the two of you would be good together. Everyone in town could see the chemistry between you. You should have heard the knitting club going on about how Langston gave the purse money to his true love. They’ll be talking about that for years. They say the footage of it went viral. You got any big plans of what to do with the cash?”“Actually, I do,” I say.Langston turns to me. “Really? I hadn’t heard this part.”“That’s because I haven’t told anyone yet.”“Well, let’s hear it. You’ve got me curious now,” Dolores says.“I want to start a charity for foster children with it.”“Jenni, that’s incredible,” Langst

    JENNIThe doorbell rings, and as I open it, the first thing I see is a blur of brown dashing into the house.“Oh, you brought Sausage. I’m surprised he can run that fast with such a huge belly. You’d think he’d get rug burn from it dragging on the ground.” I step on my tiptoes to kiss Langston.“Mmm. I can get used to this.”“I hope you don’t,” I say.“What?” Langston furrows his brow.“I hope this always feels fresh and new. Just like it does today.”Langston smiles.My heart flutters. “You don’t know what your smile does to me, do you?”That makes his grin grow even wider. “No, tell me all about it.”I trace a finger across his chest. “It makes me go weak at the knees, my breath catches in my throat, and my head starts to float.”“Your head floats?” Langston laughs. “Sounds like one of those campfire stories Hayden likes so much.”I smack his chest, which is so rock hard it hurts my hand. “Ow.” I rub it. “You know what I mean.”“I do, actually. Because I feel the same way. Floating

    “Thank you for what you said up there, giving me the purse money like that. You didn’t have to do that.”“I love you,” I say.She nods. “I know.” She laughs a little. “You did mention that. In front of everyone.”My heart freezes for a moment. “Was that not okay?”She smiles. “Langston, it was more than okay. I wasn’t sure if you would still want me after you found out I couldn’t have kids.”“Of course I want you. Being with you is the most important thing to me. Children can come in whatever way you want, whether that’s adopting or fostering or just having Hayden. He’s plenty.”“But you said you want a whole house full of kids.” Her voice is small when she says it.“That can be a house full of foster kids. Or kids we adopt. But the main part of this dream is to have you with me. I love you, Jenni Finely, and that will never change.”“You really mean that?”“Of course I do.”“I love you too, Langston,” she says.“So what does that mean for us?” I ask.She reaches out and takes my hand
