Epilogue

Epilogue

Tony packed his suitcase. He had enough leave on him that he decided to go on vacation for the first time in ages. After considering all his options, he decided to go to Jamaica. He thought of Katy, less than what he used to, these days, but he still wondered what happened to her. She never called to get him to mail the box, so he had kept it for her. One day he looked through it. There was a photo album of Katy and her family, and tons of photos of John Boulton, and her and John. Somehow he didn’t want to get rid of it, just on the off chance, so it collected dust in his closet. That was three years ago. Since then, more new faces had come to Sun Hill, more old ones had moved on, and some other rubbish had happened as well. The most recent episode had left him reeling, and he was desperate to put the ugliness out of his mind, and relax somewhere warm and sunny.

One day, halfway through his holiday, he was walking along the beach. He had wandered very far, to the point where there were houses instead of hotels lining the beach. As he rounded the corner, he saw a blonde, curly haired woman laying out on the beach. She was visibly pregnant. A red haired man, who looked vaguely familiar was coming out of a house, carrying a small child on his arm.

“Love, I just need to nip down the shops for some milk, I won’t be a minute.”

Tony backed away behind a tree. He would know that voice anywhere. The woman got up and took the child out of the man’s arms. He kissed her lovingly and walked back inside. Tony studied the woman for a moment. He knew who she was. It finally all made sense to him.

...A matter that I believed was dead and buried has somehow managed to come back to life, in the oddest of places, and I have to go away...

He contemplated speaking to her, but decided that he didn’t want to know the whole story, and it was enough just to know that they were alright and happy. Tony turned and walked away.

Katy followed her child’s gaze towards the man walking down the beach, away from them. Even though it had been a while, she knew who he was, and she smiled. Joshua waved goodbye at the man, and so did Katy.
