Epilogue

One year later, West sits front row at a packed Rose Hill school gym for a fundraising talent show supporting the arts charity Doris and Skylar launched. He’s surrounded by family and friends—his parents, Ford and Rosie, and a bustling Cora—while reflecting on how the town has protected Skylar since her retirement and how peacefully they now live on the farm.

West notes Emmy’s fierce determination to learn guitar and Ollie’s growing confidence. Doris opens the event with blunt humor, then introduces the first act: Skylar, in a summer dress, with Emmy and Ollie. Skylar settles Ollie at the piano and Emmy beside the mic; they perform the song Skylar and Oliver wrote. Ollie plays, Emmy dances, Skylar sings “Wild Eyes,” and West is moved, reaffirming his love and their shared home.

After the show, West drives Skylar along a quiet backroad and teases a surprise. He stops at the exact spot where they met a year earlier. Explaining he marked the date because it felt important, West kneels, produces a ring, and proposes, telling Skylar she is his home and person.

Skylar immediately accepts, tackling him with joy. West promises a celebratory trip to the Calgary Zoo for the bear videos he once vowed to capture. They kiss on the warm asphalt, pledging a life together, and West reflects that, just like the day they met, everything has worked out as it was meant to.
