Epilogue

Three months later

Mia had been enjoying her traveling and hadn't just gone to Europe, but had gone to Africa and Asia as well. Jane still got letters and emails from her and the occasional phone call. He found himself missing Mia, but more and more he started to feel happy for Mia and the fact that she was moving on.

The most recent letter he'd gotten from Mia lay on his desk in the attic.

He took a sip of his tea before he lifted the envelope and opened it carefully.

Dear Patrick,

I'm in Australia at the moment and am really enjoying the sand and the surf. It reminds me a little bit of Malibu, so I'm sure you'd enjoy it here. I recently started surfing again! I thought I might have forgotten since you taught me, but it's like riding a bike... You never forget.

I still have your ring, because I know you told me to keep it and I always think of you because of it. Maybe you could come down for a vacation some time.

Well, I better get going! Write soon!

Forever yours,

Mia xx

Jane smiled as he folded up the letter and put it in the inner pocket of his suit jacket.

He would have to write a reply later and send it off to Mia's address in Sydney, Australia. Maybe he would consider her offer to join her there, you never know... He might really enjoy it.

Yes, he would always love Mia just as he would always love Angela and Charlotte, but he was sure that someday Mia would be asking him to be a godfather and he would be a father once again.

Yep, that would happen one day, but for now he would just enjoy his tea and reminisce about his beautiful, red headed, simple diversion.
