LoL! Natasha I'll get on it this weekend. Taking a break from writing a scene and getting ready to jump back in.
Is the scene a sequel to Captive Lies? I loved how you tied in the carvings from the beginning of your book to the very end! Don't want to say more here since anything could be a spoiler to those viewing these posts. Wish movies were like your books.
Here comes the sun even though I love that rainy day feeling!

Nope! It's the third Misty Grove book. I'm almost done with that. I did have a several requests besides the extended epilogue to write someone's book .
Thanks! The tying in thing really comes in the second draft ... that's where a lot of foreshadowing can be refined because you already know your basic plot and that is why I like to take my time going through several drafts.
Unedited start to Captive Lies Epilogue ... this is gonna be fun as Grant navigates his possessiveness of Blaire. No angst this time, promise.
*******Do not read if haven't read Captive Lies yet **********************
-------
He watched his wife through the gallery windows and forced himself to count to ten. What Grant really wanted to do was storm in there and punch the bastard flirting with Blaire, but he’d reached his quota for jealous outbursts. Instead, he moved into the shadows like a stalker and focused on the woman who’d turned his life upside-down or right-side up whatever one would call a husband besotted with his wife, but he didn’t give a efff.
In my new WIP, this is not really a spoiler since this is the beginning of the book and will be in the blurb. Hero and heroine are married. Hero is a Navy SEAL. His whole team gets massacred and he's the only survivor, but he's got months of recovery in front of him. The enemy who hits them is after revenge and there is chatter in the terror network that any surviving SEAL's family will be targeted. He is offered a covert op, but he has to be declared dead. He also finds out she is pregnant. The one convincing him to be declared asks him if he wants to be on the run forever with a pregnant wife or would he want to hunt down the perpetrator.
Three years later ... he takes care of the threat and returns to his wife.
Does hero need a grovel? I'm thinking the reaction of the wife is ... angry because he made the decision without her. She lost the baby at six months. She's been trying to move on but couldn't.
For those of you worried if the hero was also celibate. Of course he was. He believes himself to still be married. He was allowed one friend who could check in on heroine and sabotages the online dating website responses the heroine's friend signed her up in.
That's all I'm gonna say. All these are in the first one or two chapters. I couldn't write their reunion because I'm torn.
Deffo grovel since she doesn't know about the threat.
It may of been for a very good reason but it still hurt the h.
Though this sounds sooo good. I have just gotten Fire and Ice so I am going to read that this weekend. It has been rec'd to me previously and sounds really good.

vpaige - Considering it was 3 years and she lost the baby, he needs to grovel. It would tick me off if he said, "I'm sorry but.." She suffered so he need to as well imo. (I think you knew I'd say that, lol.) If she is pissed and doesn't forgive him right away, it'll add some zing to the book and maybe there could be an opportunity to make him jealous as he was gone for 3 years. I don't want her to cheat but maybe she begins to date. Her heart isn't into it of course but he doesn't know that, lol.
ETA - Oh and make it last for a bit. Maybe a few months. Pretty please!
