Without hesitation she allowed Kevin to remove her red lace mask and feel her hair. Once he realized that it was a wig, it slowly was removed from her head and into his hands. Yvonna took off the wig cap and shook her hair loose. Kevin and her once again didn't speak for that moment. They stood gazing into each other's eyes.
"Yvonna... What made you do this?" He managed to ask her.
"It was because I wanted your place all for myself. I thought that by manipulating you it would work."
She touched his face again, while fresh tears started to pour.
"I know now that was wrong, if only you can find it in you to forgive me."
Yvonna started to cry, and Kevin moved her hand away so he could wrap his arms around her, which surprised her.
"I do forgive you Yvonna. Even about your past too."
Another surprise, unlike the first.
"How do you know that?" She asked him.
"Milus and Gwenyth had told me about the bordello. That you did it mainly to paid for college and lodging there."
A small laugh came from Yvonna. Kevin gazed into her eyes and gave her a deep kiss. Their hands touched and the spark they felt three times prior then became four.
"Do you think you can help with something?" He then asked after their kiss.
"Sure, what is it?"
He took her hand and they walked up the stairs to his bedroom. Laying out onto the bed, he showed her the new reprint demo of 'Gone with the Wind'.
"The deadline for a modern day cover is shortly and I haven't found the right cover."
Immediately, Yvonna knew what he wanted from her. She hurried back downstairs and got her wig. Yvonna slipped it back on and dusted off her red dress.
"I'm not Vivan Leigh, but I can do the silhouette of her."
Kevin smiled and went to get his camera. He directed her to stand by his bedroom window and the photo was taken. Turning towards his laptop, he connected his camera with it. He scrolled until he found the photo and began revising it. Yvonna watched as Kevin copy, cut and paste the photo with one of a field of green grass against a rising Sun. Then he added a quote from the novel.
"'After all, tomorrow is another day' couldn't be more perfect."
She hugged him from behind his chair and they exchanged smiles. Tomorrow was going to be another day for them, now that they were a happy couple.
