"We'll create the life we want," he said simply, and I couldn't agree more.

What was the point of working hard if you never got to enjoy it? And now that I was in love with Boone, it was time to make some changes.

I needed to trust that we could be successful while taking time for each other, and ourselves. The important thing was that we loved each other. We'd make it work.

EPILOGUE

KENNEDY

We spent a week in Miami. I introduced him to my friend, Jodi, and showed him my favorite restaurants and coffee shops. But the more time we spent there, the more it felt like a vacation from my real life. The one I'd built while I was in Colorado.

He needed to get home to finish his pieces for the snow room, and I wanted to see the progress. Hunter had been sharing the renovation on the social-media accounts, along with his outdoor adventures. The renovations were getting a lot of views, which was exciting.

I had a feeling that when the Hart brothers were shown in their element, they'd get more attention.

Once we were home, we went to family dinner. We decided to walk in together, rather than give some sort of announcement. Besides, Beck and Cal already knew about us and were rooting for Boone to bring me home.

We stood on his parents' porch.

"Are you ready for this?" Boone asked.

I swallowed hard. "Not really."

"My parents already love you."

"But we worked together. Won't they be shocked?"

"Sometimes you can't help who you fall in love with."

The door opened, and Judy said, "What are you doing hanging out on the porch?" Then her gaze fell to our joined hands. "Is there something you want to tell us?"

"We're together," I said awkwardly.

"What did we miss?" Hunter appeared beside his mother.

"We're here for Sunday dinner," Boone said.

Hunter's eyes widened. "You two are together?"

Boone nodded. "I'm in love with Kennedy."

Hunter's brow furrowed. "I thought you were mad at her."

Boone rolled his eyes as we stepped inside the house. "You need to spend more time with people, and less time outdoors."

Cal gripped Hunter's shoulder. "You're missing out."

"Yeah, I don't think so. I don't want to be tied down," Hunter moved away, and Beck approached us with a smile.

"You figured it out?"

Boone smiled. "I went after her and told her I love her."

Clara gasped. "That's so romantic."

I touched his shoulder. "He showed up at my condo, wearing a flannel and jeans. He looked completely out of place."

Boone looked at me. "She fell in love with me, not some guy who could fit into a place like Miami."
