Clara’s POV:

Clara stared at herself in the mirror doing one more look over at her wedding gown. She

wanted to make sure everything was perfect. Suddenly, her brides maids Liz and Maria,

along with her matron of honor Gloria, came into the bridal room.

“Oh, Clare–bear, look at you.”

Gloria began to cry. Liz laughed as she walked over to Clara.

“Glo, those pregnancy emotions have been all over the place.”

The ladies all laughed as they remembered Gloria going off on the bridal salesperson the other day.

Two years had passed since that crazy summit. Casey, Gloria, and Clara were now official

biochemists working for ETP.

Gloria and Casey got married the year prior, now they were expecting their first baby.

Maria, who was now 18, had just enrolled into South Bay University. She planned on studying biochemistry so that she could also complete her grads degree at Osha.

Corey had just been promoted to CEO of NovaTech, and Liz was the new President. Both

were in serious relationships with talks of marriage.

Suddenly, both Arla and Whitney came into the room. Whitney immediately started

crying.

“Look at my baby! Oh Clara!! You look beautiful!”

After the summit, The Rhinehorne’s officially adopted Clara.

“Oh, sweetie, from the moment we first met you, you’ve always been a daughter to us.

”

That evening, Clara went to her mother’s grave.

“Hey mom, I know it’s been awhile, I live in Springsten now so I’m sorry. I wanted to catch you up on my new life.”

Clara sat at her mother’s grave telling her about her whole new life since being reborn. Suddenly, Ethan walked up and placed his Jacket over her shoulders. Squatting down, he

smiled at Caroline’s picture.

“Pleasure to meet you Ms. Rouleau, I hope you know how much of a fan I am of all your work. Especially her.”

Ethan smiled at Clara.

“I want you know, I promise to protect from this day forth, so please, rest well.”

That night, Clara could have sworn she saw a shooting star.

“I love you too mom.‘

The wedding coordinator came into the room.

“It’s time to begin.”

Clara took a deep breath, she smiled at her two new mothers and three sisters, so much love was in this room. Nodding her head she spoke.

“I’m ready!”

Ethan’s POV:

After the summit, me and Clara decided to wait until she graduated to wed. I wasn’t exactly in love with the idea, but whatever she wanted I oblige. I was just happy she’d said yes.

After the summit, JGP crumbled, the little bit of investors Jameson had all jumped shipped, as did other scientists and biochemists. No one wanted to work for a fraud. His former VP, Edward Crawford ended up starting a small biochemical lab. It’s been

progressing nicely over the past few years. I made sure ETP invested.

Life went back to our regular routines of work for me and school for her. I ended up spending more time at her and Gloria’s condo that my own house. Casey ended up becoming one of my closest friends.

“Finally! Someone to take some of this load off me!”

Owen threw his hands in the air one night when we were all having guys‘ night after I

told Casey I considered him a best friend.

We’d heard from other sources that Jameson and Jason both left Anna and Sophie. It was

scary how much the two of them were alike.

Both tried to sniff around begging Clara to forgive them. I was glad she told them where

the door was, though I did hire extra security just to be safe. Finally, it was the big day.

I stood at the alter waiting for the ceremony to begin. Owen and Casey were my groomsmen while my dad was my best man. As the wedding coordinator went to get Clara, Casey and Owen walked up to me.

“You ready??”

Owen looked at me with his usual mischievous grin.

“Ready as I’ll ever be.”

Owen looked at me as if he were remembering something.

“What?”

“Oh nothing, just remembering that time I TOLD you, you were in love with Clara, and you were in denial. Good times.”
