When she returns to the library to leave with Ronan, a curious book pulls her back through the portal, and she awakens in her world, questioning if it was all a dream. Months later, now a bestselling author, she encounters Ronan at a book signing, leaving her wondering if her dream was more real than she dared to believe.
