Chapter Five
Trust is not automatic. Trust must be earned and strived for. Trusting someone is faith in action, and faith is simply put as believing.
It was not an instant process for Scarlett and Rhett to trust each other. Both had lost faith in the love and companionship that they had shared. But slowly with time, it became possible to see beyond the past and look towards the future.
Those first few weeks of living as a family were not easy, they were filled with strife and conflict. But slowly as the days went by Rhett believed in the changes in Scarlett, and under his trust Scarlett blossomed.
No moment of their life could be considered perfect, for there is no perfection. But their lives were happy and passionate. Rhett showered Lexie with all of the love that he had poured out on Bonnie. And so the child continued to thrive.
And as the spring broke through the winter chill, love bloomed once more. Their initial reunion was about the passion, but upon that foundation the love and trust returned.
There is no happily ever after, but there are the everyday moments that make life magical and worth living. And so we leave a happy ending on the everyday lives of Rhett and Scarlett.
