“Oh my gosh! I didn’t fall at your feet, I fell through the door…. that you opened!”
“Regardless,” he pulled me next to him, into the lean of his body and wrapped his arm around me. “There’s no going back now.”
Now that I agreed with.
We picked a few of the roses and carried them back inside, giving one to Tyler, Page and Haley. Then we sat down on the floor of the store room, with the door locked and our camping lanterns illuminating the small space. We spent the rest of the night laughing about our close calls earlier in the day and admiring the gorgeous roses. Even Tyler couldn’t stop the huge smile from lighting her face.
We were happy and safe tonight. And pressed against the strength of Hendrix’s body I felt more than all of that, I felt content.
There were things about this world- this life that we lived- that were horrible and disgusting, things that should be reserved for hell alone. But then there were other things, things that were so achingly beautiful and righteously innocent that didn’t just balance the bad things out, but superseded their place. Those were the things worth living for- worth staying alive for.
And I had somehow found them. I had found an abundance of them.
I could survive this world of decay with these good things surrounding me.
I would live through this death and disease with Hendrix next to me.
