Benjamin realized in the time he spent with Juliana, that their pasts were not failures, but merely the river in which their lives took to bring them to Eugene and deliver them to the stream of their future.

The months came and went and the two began to clean up the rubble of their old world and begin building their new empire. With the mortar being laughter, love and happiness and the bricks
