One year later
Camp Willow was finally finished. The sign now hung proudly over the entrance and it was easy to read.
The cabins and buildings had all been completely redone, and we’d added the guest cabins just like Riven had suggested.
Everything had new fixtures, was clean, and made by our pack.
The guys made an amazing team. It was impressive to witness. Even though I had to waddle around the campsite, cheering them on from the sidelines as our baby grew within me.
Now, our son was strapped to my chest, sleeping in his carrier as we added the final touches before our families arrived.
Not just families but friends as well. I was ready for everyone to see what my guys had accomplished and to show off the life we built.
Our lodge was my favorite part. The river ran right behind it, and the porch was wide enough to sit on and enjoy the sun rising over the hills and river.
Kade let out a soft sigh, babbling softly in his sleep. Even as Mia ran around barking, he didn’t stir. This kid slept almost as deep as Riven does.
We’d spent the last year settling into our new normal. We finished the lodge first, about two months before Kade was born. The guys had called in all of their connections, and even our family and friends pitched in to help.
We had huge windows, and everything was open and airy. It was the cozy home we’d always wanted.
My office was in the attic, the view from the windows was breathtaking as it overlooked the forest and the water below. I could see the lake from here, the town, and I loved it.
Landon and I had worked tirelessly finalizing the game. We added a few of my ideas in side quests and even added a whole new leg to the main journey.
The rest we were going to work on as extra content. He suggested we make this game something we can add to and eventually make it a classic for those who loved the cozy genre.
Now I understood why Everett had dedicated so much of his nights to this. Once we got going, it was addictive, and I poured a piece of my own soul into this project.
Now we were set to release in only a few short months, and the pre-order numbers were humbling.
I was going to take it slow and enjoy raising my sweet baby, but in the quiet moments, I always found myself going back to my computer, doing more work than I expected.
The guys were always supportive, giving me the time I needed to have my own life and interests. They loved taking care of our baby as much as I did and didn’t mind helping more when I got into a new project.
Voices filtered through the campsite and I had to fight off my excitement as I rushed toward the entrance to greet our guests. Seeing our friends and family fill the space had my heart warming.
The guys talked about the work we’d done and what our plans were. As they spoke I couldn’t help but watch them. They were all so different but fit perfectly together.
They were exactly what my soul needed.
I’d lost my soulmate, but I’d gained four more.
The End
