Epilogue
Lisa entered her apartment building after having a drink with her mom at a café telling about her recent trip to France. Almost immediately her phone went wild. She flipped it open, she was being texted.
Brenda: Are you back yet? Dominique'll be home in an hour and Candy wants to meet at her place.
She smiled before quickly texting back.
Lisa: Just got home, actually XD. I'll be over after I pick up Dominique.
She put the device in her pocket and grabbed her second wallet off it's forgotten place on the couch and quickly exchanged before getting another text.
Brenda: Kay, see you then.
In an hour she was helping her friend get her bags into the trunk of her car. Dominique had gone to Russia and they were ecstatic to see each other again. They were about to delve into their adventures until they remembered Candy would kill them. So instead Lisa drove to Candy's apartment.
When they arrived, they walked right in like it was their own. "Candy! Brenda!" Dominique yelled in greeting.
The four girls quickly bunched together in a fit of jumping and squealing. Somehow, they ended up on the couch with a variety of chocolates, drinks and foreign treasures.
"Okay, you guys will never guess what happened when I was at the park." Candy started. "I met a guy."
They all groaned, Candy meta guy everywhere.
"And," she interrupted. "he gave me this." she held the ring up for inspection.
"You got engaged?!" Brenda demanded.
"No, it was for his late girlfriend. And he wanted it to go to someone who'll take care of it."
"Wow..." Dominique said. "All I got was a Russian's forced hospitality and coat." though she joked, there was a genuine smile on her lips.
"An English Gentlemen swept me off my feet." Brenda said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"A Frenchmen took me on a tour of France and gave me a native's view of the Hundred Years War." Lisa happily mused.
"So we all met guys?" Brenda laughed after a silence. "I doubt that'll happen again."
"Yeah," the three chorused.
"I don't know about the rest of you." Dominique said. "But it felt...weird being around Ivan."
"I did to, around Arthur."
"Alfred to."
"Francias as well."
They stared around, silently agreeing to follow the same order to describe the sensation.
"Protected."
"Comforted."
"Found."
"Saved."
Another silence passed through them as each pondered the possibility to likely, but they all felt a sudden peace overcome them that they'd even met them.
The silence was laughed off and the girls continued with their get together, sharing more stories of their worldwide adventures. Telling them of places they'd take the other's someday. Stories minds, only remembered when stumbled across in a journal.
But those men, those four marvelous men that seemed to turn their world upside down, they'd be forever embedded in their minds. Not knowing they to, were...
Never forgotten.
