Epilogue
Hayden
Standing at the window, I gazed out at the snow-covered mountains. They were beautiful, almost like a painting; I could see why Derek missed his home. Two months had passed, and everything was at it should be. It was Christmas, and I was spending it with Derek’s parents at their farm in Tennessee. His family made me feel at home, and I couldn’t help but feel like I belonged. Derek and I got closer every day, always learning more about each other. The more I was with him, the harder I fell in love. Stonebrooke was mine, and Michael had just moved back to town. It was nice seeing him happy with Aaron. Of course, a lot of the ladies around town were upset to see Michael not available anymore. He still had women throwing themselves at his feet.
“Hayden, you okay?” Derek aske
