Epilogue

Las Vegas is one big clip joint.

But Jane and I came back from our vacation more in love than we were when we came back from our first honeymoon.

And our vacation didn't just work wonders for us.

It worked wonders for Cal, too.

The Cal that came home from Chicago is much more of a grown-up than the one who left.

Maybe it was just having some time away from him that made me realize how much he's grown.

But I think it's more than that and I find myself wondering what might have happened in Chicago to make him so much less a kid and so much more a man.

But he won't talk about it, and I have a feeling he can't be pushed into talking about it. I guess it's just one of those things you have to accept and be grateful for and thank God that it happened, whatever it was.
