“To you.” She leaned forward and kissed him. As she pulled back, his face blurred away through her tears. She shook her head and laughed. “You are one crazy man. Do you know what you did?”

“What?”

“You saved my life.”

“If that’s what it takes,” he whispered. “To keep you around.”

She smiled. He smiled.

And they both knew that, this time, she would be staying.
