Epilogue
It was her wedding day, and Alicia couldn’t be happier if she tried.
She was marrying the three loves of her life, and she planned to love them until the end of time. This was her dream wedding, fully manifested with only the best of things. Tall, dark, broody, bossy, obscenely sexy, ridiculously possessive, fiercely protective Cade Kissinger, Eli Nicholson, and Baxter Gardner. Her three best things in the whole wide universe.
They’d move the moon for her, and they showed it to her every single time they touched her, told it to her every time they whispered, I love you in her ear, and when they were away, she felt it in every call and text and thought they sent her way.
But butterflies now flew around in her stomach. A solicitor had just dropped off the letter her mother had written to her.
Holly, her maid-of-honor, naturally, shooed everyone out of the bridal room to give Alicia some privacy. She’d always known her mom had left her a letter. Up until Cade, Eli, and Baxter had stormed into her room and jinxed her V Card Nixed project, she always believed marriage was something that would happen on its own.
But then they told her the only guy who would be taking her virginity would be the one she married, and suddenly everything inside her shifted. She didn’t start manifesting her wedding. She started manifesting marriage to them. To Cade, to Eli, and to Baxter. Even when she didn’t know what she wanted, her heart already knew.
A smile spread across her face, and instead of the tears she thought would run down her cheeks and ruin her bridal makeup, all she felt was a surge of contentment. Confidently, she opened the envelope.
My dearest little love bug, Alicia,
Congratulations, darling girl. I know this is the happiest day of your life. I also hope you marry for love and laughter and friendship and protection. I hope your groom gives you all these things and you him.
I want you to know I’m smiling down at you. And I can see how beautiful you look. And how happy you are. Know that I am happy too. Inside this envelope is my special little stone. I wanted you to have it now that you’re married. I want the stone to always be purple for you. Hold it in your hand and see what it says. Always chase happiness, my sweet girl, in everything you do.
P.S. If you see Cade, Eli, and Baxter again, tell them I said hello. Tell them I wish them happiness too, and love and prosperity.
P.S. I always thought any of those boys would make my daughter a good husband one day when she is grown. I won’t say too much on this now, of course. But I did always wonder what the universe had in store for the four of you.
Love and happiness forever
Mom.
Alicia took out the small stone from the envelope. It instantly turned purple in her palm.
“Thanks, Mom,” she whispered.
Alicia needn’t have bothered with manifesting anything. Her mom had done so for her years and years ago already. She just had to get to that point in her life to receive them. Also, of course, she had to marry all three of them. She couldn’t live without any of them.
And while her dad wasn’t as poetic as her mom, he had his fair share in her happiness as well. He brought them together, all under one roof.
“Thanks, Dad,” she whispered.
She had a lifetime of happiness waiting for her. She had Cade, Eli, and Baxter waiting for her.
