Epilogue
Overview
Two years later, Grace and Hannah watch Logan and Garrett play for the Bruins from a TD Garden executive suite. Logan has been called up after a year in the AHL, while Garrett remains a star. Ward is nearly two years sober, and Jean and Ward attend separately. Grace and Logan share a settled life near Boston and plan to move into the city after Grace graduates.
Summary
Two years after college, Grace sits with Hannah in a TD Garden executive suite, awed by the luxury and energy as the Bruins warm up. Logan is in his first NHL season after a year in the AHL, while Garrett returns after a standout rookie campaign.
Grace and Hannah joke about still adjusting to the suite and Grace’s lukewarm embrace of hockey, even as they beam at their partners on the ice. Grace predicts limited ice time for Logan but plenty for Garrett, noting Garrett’s chemistry with Shane Lukov, whom Grace met and who teasingly took credit for her relationship.
Jean, Logan’s mother, joins them and playfully scolds Grace for preferring football. Grace reflects on family shifts: Jean has remarried David, while Ward, Logan’s father, has been sober nearly two years. Because Jean refuses contact with Ward, they alternate visits to Logan’s games and to the couple’s apartment.
Grace describes their home halfway between Hastings and Boston and their plan to move into the city after she graduates. Watching Logan in the uniform he dreamed of, Grace and Hannah acknowledge that the longtime goal of seeing Garrett and Logan in Bruins jerseys has finally come true.
