Here's the (VERY short, sorry~) Epilogue!!
Disclaimers apply, all that good stuff...

In a sunny, buttercup-yellow living room, a beautiful blonde woman hung up her phone with a smile. She
glanced up at her companion, a tall, powerfully-built young man with fine silver-white hair, who sat on
the couch, with her head in his lap.
"Who was that?" The man asked the woman. She grinned.
"That was Bertha Thornton, formerly Birdy. She just called to tell me that she's got a job working as a
secretary. She's planning on saving up her money to finish her education someday."
"Excellent." The man replied. "They must have made good use of their first three weeks of new-found
freedom." The woman nodded and continued.
"She and the other girls had pooled together the money they got after Esmeraude's demise and gotten
themselves a small flat to share. Right now, Bertha's the second one to get a job. A week ago, Priscilla
got a job offer to work as a model. Ava is going for an interview tomorrow for a job as a hostess in the
local Italian joint, and Catherine is investigating a job opening in a beauty parlor as a hairdresser." The
woman gave a contented sigh. "They're going to be just fine."
The man looked down into her beautiful face, and ran a gentle hand down her spun-gold tresses. "Yes,
they are. You saved them from the living hell that they'd been living in."
The blonde sat up a bit, and brushed the angular side of his face with the back of one creamy, slender
hand. "No, WE saved them. Together, Kevin. Without you, I could not have done it. I think we do well
together."
Kevin took her in his strong arms, and looked into her sky-blue eyes. "I couldn't agree more, Mina." He
said softly before lowering his lips to hers.
