Epilogue

Life doesn't always turn out how you expect it. Even when you think you've got everythin' figured out, sometimes it goes and throws you for a loop.

I was so sure I knew where my life was headed, that I was destined to end up with Jack. But even when you 'think' you're in love you never really truly know for sure until you're actually in it. S' like you breathe for that person. They're your plus one, your light in the dark, your hand to hold. And for me, that was John.

We got married in a small intimate ceremony with jus' our family and a few close friends and John took me to Barcelona for our honeymoon. It was everythin' I'd hoped it'd be and more. But our adventures didn't stop there. Side by side and hand in hand, we travelled to so many wondrous places around the globe. You could say he gave me the world.

After John got his doctorate I decided to go back to school myself. It seems I had my own knack for science and astronomy and once I got my degree we became an even stronger team. People began turnin' to us for our expertise and we were highly sought out by some of the most well-known institutions around the world. But even with all our travels, we always made time for family.

I remember one Christmas Eve as we all sat around the tree sharing stories and fond memories of Christmases past, Jack turned to me and asked when it was that I knew I had fallen in love with John and I told him, it was while you were sleeping.
