Epilogue:

“It’s a real fancy place. Harrison really pulled through after all that talk of being broke.”

“It’s the most important day of their lives - he was bound to find it somewhere.”

“Where’s the champagne? We need more champagne.”

“I always knew they’d end up together. It was certain Destiny. And my, aren’t they beautiful?”

Molly sat in the middle of all the attention, dressed in a flowing white gown and listening to everyone’s input. It was the last that made her ears perk the most. Both of the mothers were very pleased to hear the engagement announcement, some six months after the couple had visiting Vermont together. The parents were even happier to hear that the wedding would be in Vermont.

As she wrapped her arms around one of Harrison’s, she thought about what her mother just said. Destiny. Yes, she supposed it was. Once she and Harrison started serious dating, they became more of a team than ever. He had helped her with all her goals she had been trying to complete. He helped get her in to a college, a far cry from Harvard but good enough for the deed, which started her down the path of becoming that lawyer she always had a goal to be. No, she wouldn’t be the country’s finest. Now, she just liked the idea of being a good, top notch lawyer in the small Nevada city.

Harrison had brought her to the most beautiful house she ever saw one day. It was only a twenty minute drive from their apartments, but she had never seen it through the years of living so close. After she had said yes to Harrison’s proposal, made in the living room that was decorated with beautiful flowers everywhere, he told her that it was theirs. That once they were married, she’d no longer be living in that little place she had wanted to get out of.

And just being with him had made her flourish and grow. She started to understand her own self more as she learned more about Harrison. Who knew two close friends who’d been together near their whole lives could have missed so much about each other before?

Molly snuck a peek at Marty and Joe. Marty always blushed a deep crimson whenever she caught Molly looking at them. But right now Marty wasn’t paying any attention to who stared at her. She was quite occupied locking gazes with Joe. They had come far from the mere acquaintances they once were. They had been dating for about a year now and were still quite crazy about each other. Molly smirked. Who knew?

“Are brides always this quiet on their wedding day?” A soft, husky whisper blew against her ear.

She looked up at her husband of an hour and a half and smiled brightly. “I suppose not. I was just...reflecting.”

“Reflecting, huh? On what?”

She kissed him, a round of applause and cheering around them as she did so, then laid her head against his shoulder. “On how perfection can come out of places you least expect it to.”

He wracked his mind a moment, then gave up. “Is that a compliment or an insult, Molls?”

She giggled. “A compliment. I think.” She added with a wink.

OOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOooo

The End
