Epilogue
Rhett stood looking out the window of Scarlett's, no their home. So much had happened in the last few months. Scarlett had almost died, twice. Rhett smiled as he thought about her miraculous recovery.
He also smiled when he thought about Katie. He had a daughter. A beautiful, strong willed woman who reminded him so much of Scarlett.
Then just today he had walked Katie down the aisle. He had been so moved when she asked him.
Scarlett walking up and slipping into his arms brought him back from his thoughts.
"Hello Mrs. Butler" Rhett said as he kissed the top of his wife's head. His wife, again. That had happened in the last few months too. As soon as Scarlett was well enough, they had been remarried.
"Hello Mr. Butler. You seem happy" she said taking in the smells that she had missed for so long. Relishing in the still new feeling of being in Rhett's arms again.
"I am happy. After many years of denying it, well I finally just gave in and accepted that only you my dear can make me this way."
Scarlett turned in his arms "Oh Rhett. We were meant to be together. I know it. I do love you"
Rhett squeezed her a little more tightly "and I love you too, my pet." Leaning down he claimed Scarlett's lips in a sweet slow kiss, one that held the hint of the passion that their love also possessed.
Pulling back enough to look into her husbands dark burning eyes Scarlett whispered "So no more cross purposes?"
Rhett laughed gently and whispered back just before claiming his wife's lips again "No, no more cross purposes ever again".
