Epilogue
27 November 1999
�Hunter, we need to talk,� Stephanie said, sitting down beside Hunter on the sofa. �Before we get�before we do this.�
�Talk about what? It�s strictly business, right? I hope you�re not going to take this too personally.�
Stephanie shook her head. �Strictly business, of course. I just think that there�s something you need to know, before tomorrow night.�
Hunter shrugged. �Whatever. It can�t be that bad.�
�I�m�involved with someone.�
Hunter raised an eyebrow. �Okay,� he said slowly. �And I really care because�?�
Stephanie sighed. �Well, obviously not.�
�I just don�t see what the big deal is. So, you�re involved with someone. Great for you.� Hunter paused, looking at her closely. �Does he know about tomorrow?�
Stephanie nodded. �Yes.�
�And�?�
�He�s not happy.�
�Let me get this � you�re marrying me, but you�re still going to continue to see this guy?�
�Yes.�
�Why don�t you just dump his ass?�
�Because I love him.�
Hunter snorted. �Yeah, like I haven�t heard that before.�
Stephanie just looked at him. �It�s Chris.�
Hunter raised an eyebrow. �Jericho?�
Stephanie nodded. �Yes.�
�You�ve got to be kidding!�
�No.�
�And he�s willing to let you just marry another guy?�
�We talked.�
�Why?�
Stephanie had to think for a minute. �Because if our positions were reversed, I would do the same thing for him. I�d do anything for him.�
�Would you die for him?� Hunter was grinning as he asked the question, not at all serious.
But Stephanie nodded, and with a soft smile, answered in a tone that revealed she truly meant what she was saying.
�Yes.�
