Bonus Epilogue
Six Months Later
The wedding is outdoors, under a wide, open sky. Rows of wooden benches stretch across the open field, softened with patchwork quilts and sprigs of baby’s breath tied with twine. String lights hang between old cedar posts, already beginning to glow as twilight deepens. Lanterns flicker gently at the ends of each aisle, casting golden light over the worn gravel path. The scent of hay and wildflowers drifts through the air, mingling with the distant murmur of livestock.
