Kristina nods, her own chest tight with emotion as she presses her body even closer to Sara's. "Yes," she whispers back. "Forever." She glances up at you, their eyes meeting for a brief moment before looking away again, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love welling up inside her.

You smile softly, reaching out to brush a lock of hair from Kristina's forehead. "I think I can live with that,"

you say quietly. As the sun rises, casting its warm light through the windows of the car, you close your eyes, content for the first time in a long time. Together, you'll face whatever comes next... and it will be glorious.
