Some planned on joining Emily and Mason when they moved back to upstate New York, to live in the forested country areas.

Emily and Mason seemed glad to have new neighbors, and vowed to help them in any way they could.

“I love it here,” Emily said, “but we had our own piece of paradise in the woods, in our little cabin by the lake. We’ll definitely come visit again, though.”

“We can visit you too,” Clarissa offered. “If you have room for a tent on your land. You might want some help after your baby is born.”

“I would love that,” Emily said, hugging her.

Jenna and Barker disappeared at some point during the reception, which, knowing Jenna the way Clarissa did, meant they didn’t want to waste any time consummating their marriage.

Clarissa laughed and fell back against Trent’s strong chest, loving how their silver wedding rings matched, how they gleamed when their hands intertwined.

Yes, today was a day of hope. The future looked good.

Thank you to my editors Adam Wilson and Julia Fincher at Pocket Star, along with the whole Gallery/Pocket team for working with me to make The Pulse Trilogy the best it could be. Thank you to my literary agent, Courtney Miller-Callihan of SJGA. Thank you to my family for supporting me in my writing career. I love you, DH—and I’m so excited that we’re finally walking the talk and moving to northern Idaho to get away from it all. :)

And for you, my readers, I love you too—without you, I’d be writing into the abyss. Special shout-out to the Shoshanna Street Team—you guys are awesome. I am truly blessed to have readers like you.
