Epilogue

MANNY OLIVER noticed the small brown paper package on his desk when he returned from a particularly grueling staff meeting. When he saw Janine Murphy's name on the return address, he smiled, grateful for a pleasant distraction. His pleasure turned to puzzlement, however, when he unwrapped a black jeweler's box. Intrigued, he opened a small card taped to the top.

My Dearest Manny,

I had these made especially for you by a talented woman I met during my blissful honeymoon. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Fondly, Janine Murphy Stillman

Stillman? Manny smiled wide and murmured, "All's well that ends well." He carefully opened the hinged box, then threw his head back and laughed a deep belly laugh.

Nestled against the black velvet winked an exquisite pair of gold cuff links fashioned into two tiny sets of angel wings.
