EPILOGUE

GIDEON

The famous Suitor's Crossing bridge has a handful of tourists crossing its wooden planks, but that doesn't deter us. Lindy and I want to officially walk across the bridge together to cement our heart spark fate.

It's kind of kooky, and unnecessary considering nothing will change how I feel about her, but the rare sunny day in autumn means getting out into nature to revel in it, which is what we're doing.

"This is so cute," Lindy says, her bright green eyes absorbing the romantic atmosphere of twinkly lights, painted red accents, and couple names etched into the wood railings.

"Is this your first time at the bridge?"

"Yeah… I didn't want to tempt fate. I've walked the trails around here, though. You?"

"There wasn't any fear of tempting fate once I met you, so I've been here once or twice while exploring the area."

"Because you knew immediately I was your heart spark ." She rolls her eyes like she doesn't believe me, but the twitch of a smile on her lips says the sentiment pleases her all the same.

We step around a couple stopped in the middle of the bridge for a selfie, continuing our ambling journey forward. "Don't act like I was the only one who knew. I fielded a ton of shit from the guys for how far gone I was— am —for you."

"Caroline and the gang were the same with me. Freaking heart spark detectors," she jokes.

Once we reach the end of the bridge, she looks up at me with an impish expression. "Well? Do you still love me? Am I still your heart spark ?"

"Damn straight." An older couple reprimands me for cursing, and Lindy giggles. Drawing her away from the crowd of people, I wrap her in my arms, relishing the privilege of holding her so close. There was a time I never thought this would happen. When I thought I fucked up so badly that Lindy would never let me near her again.

Thank fuck I was wrong.

Because I need my Lindy Girl—she's my heart and soul.

My brave little heart spark .
