The two of us go to her, wrapping her up in our arms.
“I’m just so thankful for you guys. You have helped me not only really who I am, but what I truly want in life. So much of my life has been about getting back at my father. Defying him. And now that I’ve finally done that- now that I’ve finally gotten my revenge- I just want to move on with my life and be happy. And I just love you two so much. I don’t ever want to lose you guys,” she starts sobbing.
“Baby- if there is one thing I know for sure- it’s that you won’teverbe losing us. You’ve got two soldiers by your side for life. We are not going anywhere.”
“You promise?”
Asher and I look at each other.
“We promise.”
The three of us share kisses all around, and it’s a truly wonderful moment.
Next thing I know, we dive into an even deeper conversation.
“I think that you and I should combine our ranches. We’re right next to each other anyway- we should just make it one big ranch. We can tear down our houses and just create one huge mansion in the middle, with all of our land surrounding it.”
“Honestly? I think that’s an amazing idea. I mean- if we do that? We’ll have the biggest ranch in this entire area. We will be on top of this whole ranching game. We could even find a way to buy that orchard that separates our land, that way we can really just have one big empire!”
“Oh my god, yes. This is like, my lifedreamright here. This is all I’ve ever wanted.”
“What do you think, Samantha?”
“I think this sounds fucking amazing! You should definitely do it. And I’ll help! I would love to learn more about ranching from you guys. I was never interested in it because of my father- but you two make it seem like so much fun. Like, it’s not work to you. It’s just your passion, and I love that.”
“So you’ll live here with us?”
“Oh, absolutely! What did you think, I was going to move back to New York?”
We shrug.
“No, fuck that. It’s us now, and I’m here to stay.”
Hearing her say that just makes me so incredibly happy. This really is a dream come true- and we have Samantha to thank for that. If it weren’t for her- well, none of this would be happening. And for that- I will always love her.
