Outside, the moon was a brilliant white disk that guided her as
she made her way toward the jeep. But before climbing in, she
glanced over her shoulder in the direction of Jo’s.
The lights were on and the windows of the cottage were glowing
yellow. In the painted kitchen, she saw Jo standing near the
window. Though she was too far away to make out much more
than that, Katie had the sense she was smiling. Jo raised a hand in
a friendly farewell, and Katie was reminded again that love can
sometimes achieve the impossible.
When Katie blinked, however, the cottage was dark again. No
lights were on and Jo had vanished, but she thought she could
hear the words in the letter being carried on the gentle breeze.
If Alex has chosen you, then I want you to believe that I have chosen you
as well.
Katie smiled and turned away, knowing it wasn’t an illusion or a
figment of her imagination. She knew what she saw.
She knew what she believed.
