"You know... it's not too late to find something else," I say softly, glancing over at her. "Something better than just surviving." There's an unspoken question in my eyes, a hint of hope that she might want something more out of this life than just endless struggle.

"Perhaps," I say with a small smile. "But for now, let's just enjoy this moment together." I reach up and brush another lock of hair from your forehead before leaning in to kiss you softly on the lips. "We have so much to look forward to, don't you think?"
As we cuddle close together under the sheets, lost in each other's embrace, I can feel a sense of hope begin to blossom within me. Perhaps this isn't the end after all...
