Quinlan

Guess we’ll find out when he gets here, won’t we.

Ellie

Rooting for you, Q!

You, too, Abs.

Abigail

I’m perfectly happy just the way I am, thank you. I certainly don’t need a man to complete my life.

Ellie

Come on. Can’t someone else please be in a relationship? I want to go on double dates.

Owen

What about Soph?

Ellie

She’s notdating anyone.

Owen

Come on. You’ve seen the way her and Rhodes look at each other, right?

Ellie

Her dad would KILL him. No way.

Owen

Just calling it like I see it, Ellie baby.

Abigail

Ok, new rule. No sickeningly sweet nicknames in the chat. I think I might throw up.

Ellie

Love you too, Abs.

We’re gonna go celebrate, but miss you all! Can’t wait to see you in a few months!

Epilogue

ELLIE

Owen?” I called out, dropping my bag onto the kitchen counter and pacing through the apartment I’d been calling home in Seattle for the last few years. One we wouldn’t call home much longer, since we’d just bought a house in the suburbs. It was still close enough to the rink for him, but not too far from the school I was now teaching at.

Sometimes I still missed skating, the feel of the ice under my blades and the rush of flying around the rink, but Ilovedteaching. It fulfilled me in a way I couldn’t explain. Thebestway.

But then again, so did Owen.
