I laugh and pull back. “The best.”
Candy smiles now, for real. “I’m happy for you, Kat. I really am. This is what y’all deserve.”
My bottom lip wobbles but I keep it together. “Yeah, I think you’re right.”
After more hugs are shared, I return to Marcus and look up at him. He steps forward, capturing me with his arms and pulling me close. “Feels good to do it right, honey,” he murmurs.
“Yeah, it does.”
“And about that practicing . . .”
I laugh and slap his chest. “You’ll get plenty of time for that.”
He smiles, and it’s big and beautiful. It’s a smile I’ve come to love. A smile I’ve come to expect. Marcus and I, we’re finally free. It’s been a long, dangerous journey, but we found a way to start over and pick ourselves up from the despair we’ve lived so long in. Now it’s just us, the way it always should have been.
“I have all the time in the world.”
Yes, yes he does.
THE END
Thank you so much for battling it out with Katia and Marcus, they’ve been a hard couple to love, let alone write. I’d love if you could leave a review, it makes the world of difference for us and your opinion means the world to me, good or bad. Thank you so much.
