“It worked, Sergeant,” Carlos said, even though he was still wearing headphones. “Perfect execution.”
“It was that.” Jenny grinned. “But Bigfoot?”
Dare shrugged. “None of us could fit into the alien costume. Not even my mom.”
This man was perfect for her. So were his friends and family. Jenny kissed him hard on the lips. “I love you, Dare O’Rourke.”
“I love you.” He saluted. “Soul mate and one true love reporting for duty.”
A peace settled over her, one that she’d never expected to feel with her emotions exploding like fireworks over this man she loved. “At ease, soldier.”
A message in a bottle had brought Dare into her world. He was her dream hero come to life. No other man—real or fictional—could compare.
Her future was shining in his eyes. She smiled. “We’ll be adding another happy ending to those who tossed a bottle in the ocean.”
He brushed his lips over her hair. “The happiest of endings, and one that includes a cuddly, cute kitten. What do you think of the name Yeti?”
THE END
