“It’s beautiful,” Sage whispered, holding out her ring finger so Hank could slide it on.

“Not half as lovely as you are,” Hank said, leaning in to place a celebratory kiss on his fiancée’s lips.

“Oh, Hank. Thank you for changing my life. Not only am I going to be your wife, but I’m going to be Addie’s mother. I came to Owl Creek to find answers about my birth family, but I found so much more. I found you. And Addie. And my birthright. And a town full of people I adore. I couldn’t ask for more, Hank. God has been so good to me.”

“Neither can I, sweetheart. You made me believe in love again. And happy endings. I’ll always be grateful to you for bringing my heart back to life.”

Sage beamed at Hank. Never in a million years had she imagined this blissful ending. Her entire being was filled with love and gratitude. “As long as we’re together I’ll have a joyful heart,” Sage said, wrapping her arms around Hank’s neck and pulling him toward her so she could place a tender kiss on his lips.

“We are blessed beyond measure. I can’t wait for you to become my Owl Creek bride,” Hank said, his voice full of love and a deep certainty that foreshadowed their amazing future.

“I’m finally home, Hank,” Sage murmured, wiping away a tear. “Right where I was meant to be all along.”
