The Epilogue shows Eliza holding a picture of her late husband. It is now seven years after the fatal accident, on the day before Christmas Eve, exactly one year after Hayden's emotional breakthrough. He and Paige are engaged, and the following day (Christmas Eve) will be their wedding day, at the same venue where Hunter and Carissa held their ceremony. The two have built a house with accessible features for both Rylan and Hayden (who now has his prosthesis) and an attached apartment for Leta, in the same area as his siblings, thus allowing Rylan to attend school (an aide is also available for him as needed) with Rachel and Isla (Hunter has adopted Rachel while Heather and Ash have adopted Isla; Rylan's adoption by Hayden will take place after the honeymoon). Paige will also return to college to complete her degree. Though Eliza is still sad that her husband isn't alive to see the weddings, she knows he would be proud of how Hayden has changed in the past 18 months. | The Epilogue shows Eliza holding a picture of her late husband.
