"Are you two all right? K.I.T.T. called and told me what happened. Why are you two smiling like that?" Devon demanded.
"We made K.I.T.T. promise to let us tell you the most exciting part of the whole night!" Michael exclaimed.
"We're getting married!" They both said at once.
"Oh! My!" Devon exclaimed, his face lighting up. "Well, then, congratulations are in order."

The ocean waves rolled in and out just yards away.

Michael, and even K.I.T.T. filled a void within Carlee that she hadn't realized was there until she had met them. Carlee felt that for the first time in her life, she was truly where she was meant to be.
