Epilogue - Bygones or Gone By


"Well, Mother, how did it go?"

"It went well. It's undone. I can't wait to see
Quentin's face when he finds out his plan fell apart
somehow."

The couple laughed together at the thought. They
stopped when they noticed one of the young men from
earlier in the evening approaching the porch.

Warren knocked on the door and waited for permission
to enter.

The husband looked at the wife. She looked at him
and nodded. "I feel it, too."

"Can we help you, young man? Warren, isn't it?"

Warren smiled. The biggest smile that had ever
crossed his face. The most handsome smile. "I just
wanted to thank you."

"Thank us?"

"Yes. For believing in me. For knowing I was
telling the truth and telling them how to help Willow."

A shocked look crossed the faces of the couple as
they realized just who it was they were talking to. A
small smile passed across the woman's lips/

"The weakest vessel in the room. Or, outside it..."
