Epilogue
Freyda and Alaire watched their mother as she stopped talking. Freyda reached out to place her hand on Esmora's.
"Is that when you both fell in love?" Alaire asked with a grin.
"I'm not sure I could pin point the exact moment I knew I was in love, but that sent us on our way toward happiness."
Freyda smiled and placed her head in her mother's lap. Alaire remained where he was, his eyes fixed on his mother's contented face.
In the doorway, Cavan surveyed them. His eyes lovingly lingered on his wife and then moved to his daughter. She had hardly spoken a word since the day of her birth. He smiled as his eyes fell on Alaire. That boy, on the other hand, had hardly stopped talking since he had found his place in the universe. His two children. Both strongly took after their mother. In more ways than their physiognomy. He had no doubt that their lives would be as full of adventure as Esmora's. He could only hope that they would end just as happily.
Author's note:
Thank you, my readers for giving this humble story your attention for 38 chapters. It is with much sadness that I bring it to a close for Esmora has become dear to me. However, do not weep for in the future there will come another book, three if I can manage it. They will be about her decendents and she may figure in a couple herself. Farewell, until we meet again,
