Too afraid that he’d snap.

“Until the sky falls…” he whispered as he kissed me again and again, so I said the only thing I could say back.

The only thing I’d ever heard Claire repeat over and over again.

“Even,” I whispered, “Until the sky falls, Ash.”

“You’re here…” He smiled for the first time. “Finally…finally…”

This time I kissed him.

This time I pulled him.

This time I gave him what he’d been wanting since yelling into the dark night sky—Claire.

I gave him Claire.
