After fifteen days passed, Hank was finally able to retake his driver's test. Before Hank began his test, he took a few deep breaths and said to himself, "Don't overthink it. Just do it, just like Paul said." This time, it was clear that Hank was very focused. After finishing the test, the instructor said, "Well done, Hank. That was so much better." Hank smiled. He then returned to Paul and his mother. Hank said, "I did it. I passed the test." Paul hugged Hank and said, "Congratulations! I knew you could do it!" Hank said, "It's all thanks to you." Paul smiled. "I'm always happy to help. What do you say we go look at cars?" Hank said, "That sounds like a plan to me." Hank ended up getting a sports car. Contrary to what Hank's friends said, Paul did not end up getting a pink hippie van. He went with a simple mid-sized sedan. Once they made it home, Hank asked, "Paul, do you think your relaxation technique would help me improve as a football player?" Paul said, "I don't see why not." Hank said, "I think I'll try it at Friday night's football game. Will you come and watch?" Paul said, "Of course, as long as you promise not to let your friends beat me up." Hank said, "I promise if they so much as lay a hand on you, they'll feel the full extent of my wrath." Paul laughed. "I love you, Hank." Hank smiled. "I love you too, Paul."
After Everett received his discharge papers and his crutches, Una asked him, "Are you hungry?" He said, "Yes, very." She said, "Okay. We'll get something to eat, then I'll take you home." After they ate dinner at a burger joint, they went back to Everett's apartment. Una decided to stay with Everett so that she could help him with whatever he needed. Mrs. Stratton approved of Una's decision. Everett's knee healed in a few days. After that, he and Una decided that they would start planning their wedding. It is a day that they are both looking forward to.

Una, Everett, and Kaitlyn had dinner at a nice restaurant. As they ate, Una asked, "So, Kaitlyn, what are you majoring in?" Kaitlyn replied, "Well, I'm a biology major. I'm hoping to be a veterinarian." Una said, "You're an animal lover. That's great!" Kaitlyn said, "Yes, I've always been an animal lover. How about you?" Una replied, "Well, I always wanted a dog, but my mother is highly allergic. With that being said, I'm so busy with acting, I'm not sure I'd have time for one now." Kaitlyn said, "That's true. Dogs do require a lot of attention. I'm hoping to get one after I finish with veterinary school and get more settled." Everett smiled as he listened to Una and Kaitlyn's conversation. He was happy to see that they were getting along so well. He thought, This is wonderful. I think it'll work if Una and I decide to get married.

"What do you mean?" Una once again prepared to listen. Everett replied, "While my immediate family was supportive of my dream to go into film editing, not everyone was kind. Lots of people told me that I couldn't do it: most of my schoolmates, some teachers, even my extended family." She said, "How awful!" He said, "I know, but I didn't let that keep me down. My father even told me that I should go for it, no matter what anyone says. I looked at different film schools, and I got accepted into one that is fairly close to where I grew up. Upon graduating, I started preparing to go to film school. I started that fall, and I got a job at the local diner to help my parents cover the apartment rent." Una added, "And that's where we met." Everett smiled. "Yes, Una. My life only got brighter from there." She said, "Aw! I say the same to you, Everett." With that, they kissed.
