Epilogue

One year and eight months later, Gigi prepares Halloween treats while Maisy arrives with her son, Coby. Gigi retrieves baby Ben from the garage where Jess and Rowen help with his new office build. Rowen prefers to stay with Jess, whom she aversively follows everywhere since he adopted her after the wedding.

Inside, Gigi and Maisy settle the toddlers to play and catch up. Maisy, stabilized by therapy after killing Everett, now thrives managing—and recently purchasing—the Fan Mountain Inn. She refuses to return to the hospital, even for Coby’s care, relying on Bozeman visits or house calls. Milo returned to Prescott with Sara, the shy burn-unit nurse he met during recovery.

Maisy shares motel gossip: Felicity bristled upon seeing Silas with Maisy, and later Silas was spotted leaving Felicity’s room late at night, confirming romantic tension. Gigi reflects on the joy of these quiet Sundays, gratitude for the farmhouse’s second chances, and the solace of Ben and Claire’s graves nearby.

That night, after lovemaking, Gigi hints she is pregnant by asking to name a girl after her mother. Jess answers with a passionate kiss, and they fall asleep in their nightly exchange of affection. The epilogue closes eight months later with the birth of their daughter, Adeline Claire Cleary, sealing the family’s hard-won peace.
