“You want to know how this ends?” he asks.
“Tell me.”
“With a sunset. A kiss. And two souls coming together as one.”
“I love you, Kalxor,” I whisper. “More than anything in this world. You know that, right?”
“I do,” he says.
He pulls me in close, nuzzling his chin over my head.
“And I love you, Ava. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me,” he says. “You complete me.”
This the new world. A better world. Our world.
We built this. Together.
That will never change. And as much as I reminisce about that time we had inside my dad’s simulation, this is everything I’ve ever dreamed of.
This is love.
This is everything I ever dreamed of having.
