"So... what does this mean?" you ask hesitantly, rubbing your hands along your thighs to still their trembling. "For us, I mean." His brow furrows as he thinks for a moment before looking back at you, his expression unreadable.

"Well," he begins slowly, "I think... we'll just have to figure it out together."

His words send a surge of hope and relief coursing through your veins, leaving you feeling lightheaded. You smile up at him, tears welling in your eyes as you take his hand in yours. "Okay," you say quietly, squeezing his fingers gently. "Let's do that."

Together, you face the future, uncertain but determined to make it work together.
