CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
(chapter title – Epilogue – Five Years Later)

Five long years have gone by and here's what has happened:

Kris and Justin welcomed twins Alexander Nicholas and Adam Anthony into their family. Eight-year-old April loves being a big sister to both Alex and Adam.

Kris is now head DA in her firm, which is so exciting. Justin couldn't be happier for her.

As for Justin, he works at a hot sauce factory called Kick Ass Factory – the mascot is a loveable mule named Roger, named solely for his good friend.

----------

Joanne and Maureen adopted a five-year-old girl that they named Maria Angel Johnson-Jefferson. Rosie loved everyone – especially the younger kids. She has the loving personality of Angel and the wildness of Mimi – whose real name was also Maria, so the girls named Maria well.

---------

As for Mark and I – we're doing great. Mark's now the head of his own film company, which I'm so proud of him for.

I'm still working at Joe's Book Store and work part-time in the local library in the children's section.

Sara and Owen are five-years-old and attend kindergarten with Adam and Alex. They're doing okay – although we almost lost Sara to colic when she was four months old, but she's doing better now.

There's only now
There's only here
Give into love or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today
