“Everything will be okay now, Faith. I told you nothing would keep me away from my girls. I’ve come home to you as ordered.”
“Tell me you will never leave again, Solomon? Tell me this isn’t a dream?” she demands through her tears.
“No more dreams, life with you will be better than any dream.” Solomon leads her inside.
After a few days sleep, the couple returns home to San Antonio, where they are married with his entire family in attendance. Baby Hope is christened as his daughter and Faith continues to paint.
A few months later, Solomon gets a package from Dalton and Cassie with a letter. Inside is a beautiful antique mirror.
Dear Solomon and Faith,
Please accept this small token as a thank you for all you have done for us. If you are ever in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. You are always welcome to the River's Ranch. Our gratitude can never be enough. You saved us when our dreams were in the dust, and we will never forget it.
Eternally yours,
Cassandra Rivers
Faith happily places the mirror in a safe place for her daughter, Hope. One day she will learn the story of how she came to live in Texas and the amazing journey that brought them here.
Cassie smiles when she receives the first of many letters. She rocks her son, Daniel, in her arms and smiles as she nurses him. They have no clue that inside the mirror is a map to a treasure greater than anything they can imagine. As time passed, Cassie found that she did not want anything to do with the gold buried on her family land. The money she is receiving from the sale of the mine will be more than enough to ensure her family has everything they need.
“They have no clue, Daniel, and maybe when you are old enough, you can go visit them and fill them in on the surprise. For now, we will just keep it our little secret.”
He burps, and she laughs.
The End
Before you go!
