Epilogue
Overview
Two years later in Seattle, Anastasia attends a therapy check-in, now pregnant and content with life alongside Nathan. They’ve built a home, adopted Bunny, and advanced their careers—Anastasia wins Olympic gold and Nathan the Stanley Cup. On a Cabo babymoon, Nathan proposes on the beach, and Anastasia accepts.
Summary
Two years after the main events, Anastasia meets Dr. Andrews in Seattle for a routine therapy session. He remarks on her pregnancy glow, and their conversation frames how therapy now affirms her gratitude and stability. It’s revealed Anastasia has won Olympic gold in ladies’ singles, and Nathan has won the Stanley Cup.
Driving home, Anastasia reflects on cravings, Nate’s snack-stocked Range Rover, and their dog Bunny. At their house, Nate and Anastasia’s parents are in the yard as Bunny wreaks joyful havoc. Nathan eases Anastasia’s back strain, underscoring their affectionate, practical partnership while they prepare for a babymoon.
The couple flies to Cabo, where privacy and comfort matter more than extravagance. They pass a lazy day on the beach, Nate even digging a sand hollow so Anastasia can lie on her stomach. Before dinner, Anastasia dawdles, then joins Nathan for a special reservation on a rose-petal-lined beach.
Over dinner, Nathan is quiet but tender. As Anastasia reflects on how unexpectedly perfect their life is, Nathan kneels in the sand and proposes. He calls her the love of his life, speaks of every reality together, and includes Bunny and their unborn daughter, Mila. Overwhelmed, Anastasia says yes, and they seal it with a kiss.
