“What?” he asked, turning to face her, two gold coins for eyes.

“Listen to this. I, Anna Potter, do solemnly promise I took only what I needed and will do only genuine good with what I take.”

He let the coins fall from his face. “It’s just like the book.”

“Wow,” she whispered.

“What are we gonna do now?” he asked her.

“You mean besides plan a wedding in two months?” she said with a grin. “I’ve got a few ideas.”

“Are they any good?” Silas teased.

“That depends. How do you feel about getting everyone their jobs back?”

“Damn, I love you, Maggie Nichols.”

“Five bucks says I love you more,” she told him, closing the distance between their mouths.

“Prove it,” Silas whispered, just before their lips met.

Thanks to the remaining gold and a sizable investment from Sebastian Spencer, Kinship was able to purchase Canyon Custom Cabinetry and reopen as an employee-owned company.

Maggie and Silas got married at the Old Campbell Place on the most beautiful October 13 on record. They went on to have two kids, Ava and Bowman, because in their words, “Cody deserved a big, messy, loving family.” Kevin and the cats are deliriously happy.

Michael and Dean got married on the terrace at the Old Campbell Place the following summer. They have a little girl named Campbell.

Silas got his greenhouse and eventually made Elton and Marta full partners in Bitterroot Landscapes. He turned down an offer from the Welcome Home Network to star in a show called Hot Landscaping.

Maggie’s book Building Dreams stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for nineteen weeks. She’s working on another book when she’s not rehabbing the entire Canyon Country Townhomes development from top to bottom. She semiretired from her YouTube fame, releasing only one episode a month. She now has three million followers.

Kayla and Elton finally went out on a first date, which lasted forty-eight hours. They decided not to have kids and instead spend three months every winter traveling.

Dayana’s divorce was finalized. She decided to stay in Kinship and accepted the position of chief financial officer at the plant. She met a nice guy with two little girls, and they’re taking their time getting to know each other. She has no idea that he bought a ring for her the day after their first date.

Cody took a gap year before going off to art school. After graduating with honors, he rejoined Maggie’s company and is planning to propose to Jun once she’s done with dental school.
