Chapter 19: Epilogue

Robin & Arthur Spencer

After Maggie and Ricky move and settle into their new home Ricky calls Robin and leaves a message on her machine. He tells her that both houses have sold. She does not return his phone call.

Ricky watches the news closely and follows Arthur’s jump into politics. As expected he is nominated and wins the Lieutenant Governor’s position in the election. He is a popular moderate politician and is regularly found at various events around the state. The latest rumors are that he is being groomed for a larger role on a national stage.

Robin makes a stunning politician’s wife. She supports her husband by also being in the community and helping with fundraisers and volunteer efforts. As the couple becomes more well-known in the public eye Ricky begins to truly appreciate Robin’s wisdom in distancing herself from anything that could be consider scandalous from her past. He also thinks that if Robin or Arthur’s future was threatened she would deal with any obstacle in a ruthless manner.

Maggie & Ricky Woodson

Maggie and Ricky move into their new house without any complications. They use the extra money made on the premium listing of their house, plus some of the money they found in their old house, to pay off their new house in less than five years. Because the new house was vacant when they moved in, Ricky spent a day building a new shelving unit in the master bedroom that conveniently had an eighteen inch gap between the shelving and the wall. The hiding spot was nowhere as fancy as what they found at their old home, but it was not something that would be easily found.
