Epilogue

Six months later

"I do." Millie said the words she'd been waiting to say for what felt like all of her life. She smiled at Preston.

The preacher faced the congregation and held out his arms. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Preston Chadwick. Congratulations, Preston and Millie."

They greeted their guests and were overwhelmed by the show of support. Of course, Preston's parents were happy for them, as was her father. Oh, and that was her father and his new bride, Ann Green.

Corinthia came by with Fritz. They had been seeing one another regularly now. Candace came on Peter Sims arm. They, too, were an item.

Preston's clinic was doing well. So well, they would have to enlarge the house he'd bought. Fortunately, it had enough land that they could add to it. Preston's mother was doing well. He'd decided it was the well water and had his father dig another well on a different part of their property.

Frank was probably the biggest surprise of all. He took over the mine for both families and straightened out all the mess the two managers had caused.

Millie leaned against her husband and sighed. Everything was working out better than she could have planned. She turned to Preston. "I love you. I am living my dream."

He kissed her. "I'll see that it stays that way. Let's go. I don't want to miss the train. Paris is beautiful this time of the year."

Again, she sighed with contentment. Then she looked at him, and excitement filled her. What an extraordinary adventure they were going to have!
