“Are you ready to go home, Lady Sheridan?” Stanton asks.
“Yes, I am.”
Epilogue
1884
New York
“Not that one, Poppy,” four-year-old Anna whispers in his ear while twirling a finger in a dark curl.
“Why not?” Matthew demands of his great-grandchild.
London laughs and covers her mouth with her hand.
“If you go there, Mama’s, gonna win again,” she states.
“Perhaps you’d like to play for me,” London suggests to her daughter.
“Yes, please,” Anna claps her hands and takes London’s place.
“Fine. Now let a man think,” Matthew moves his bishop, and Anna stares at him.
“Are you watching, Poppy? If I move my horsey, here,” she picks up her piece and moves it, “I’m going to win in three moves.”
Declan roars with laughter at the look of outrage on his Grandfather’s face. London holds her pregnant belly and stares at her husband in shock.
“She gets that from you!” Declan declares.
“You should be humble, Anna,” Matthew snorts even as he beams with pride.
“You said, always tell the truth.” she shrugs her shoulders, “I'm just better than you.”
“Anna!” London gasps, but Matthew joins in the laughter.
“That you are, my girl.”
The End.
