EPILOGUE ONE
Two weeks later

I’ve been home for a week and Grant’s hovered the entire time. The brands on my legs got infected and required IV antibiotics. I’m going to have scars, but all my limbs are intact.
Grant has also insisted that Jeremiah stay with us while he heals. He was shot through the hip and is healing pretty well, but he’s not used to having to be still, and it’s driving him nuts. Well, to be fair, I’m not sure if it’s the having to just relax and heal that’s making him stir crazy or the fact that a certain paramedic comes over almost daily to check on him. I think I saw a glimmer just the other day in his eyes. Oh, how the mighty might just be falling.
Jason put his badge on the line for us, as he called in for an ambulance as soon as they were down the mountain far enough to have cell service. It probably saved Braxton’s life. He almost lost it when the ambulance showed up, and Amanda realized their patient was her long-lost brother. That whole thin line between love and hate made an appearance again.
Right now, it’s time to catch up on my favorite show. Jeremiah is sitting on the couch, messing with his phone. He’s taken over Grant’s spot as it has one of the recliners. He glances up from his phone. “Game on or something?” Grant comes in with lunch and sodas for us. “Nope, it’s time for your dad’s guilty pleasure. He watches this show religiously and a new episode just dropped.”
I glare at him as I take a bite of the sandwich. Grant turns on the show and Jeremiah looks over at me with a strange look. “This is a great show. I think that Alison host is fucking hilarious.”
Grant sits down next to me and sighs. “It’s fucking genetic.” I glance over at him and grin. “I think it’s a sign of good taste, which you know I have since I picked you after all.” Grant gives me that sexy as fuck smile and leans in to give me a quick peck. “Like I would’ve let you pick anyone else.”
Jeremiah groans about parents and PDA. I can’t help but chuckle to see the slight smile on his face as he whines. Yeah, life is gonna be better for all of us.
