“Well, I drove to New York City, got a small place, and started college. Found out I was pregnant and got a job as an assistant to Parker. After Tyler was born, I went back and finished college with a degree in Art History, and then Parker and I started dating. We moved in together, but it never felt quite right, like there was always something missing. I thought of you every day, Cody. I know you probably don’t believe me, but it was hard not to think of you when I had our son to raise. I named him Tyler, and of course, yes, I never ever stopped loving you. I tried to stop—it just wasn’t possible. We have been a part of each other from the first time we made love. No one ever compared to you, and no one was ever good enough.”
When she was finally done telling her story, Cody leaned over and said, “Skye, you know you’re right about Christmas…it is a time to put the past in the past and move on. This is a time of renewal, a time of giving and a time of forgiveness, and Skye, I forgive you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Can we go back to the beginning and start where we left off?” Cody stood up, then got on one knee. “Skye Howard, would you do me the honor of finally becoming my wife on this Christmas Eve and making me the happiest man in the entire world?”
Tears came like rain down Skye’s cheeks, then she lunged for Cody, knocking him to the floor. She kissed him deeply, then she looked into his eyes, finally coming up for air.
“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, Cody Wilson, I will marry you! But first, before we do anything else, make love to me, right here, right now.” And as the snow fell, this Christmas Eve not only had Cody found a wife and a son, but he also found a new life on this special night on the Triple H Ranch in a bunkhouse where it all began so many years ago and where it would begin again on this, A Montana Christmas.
