It was a dream come true.
He was a dream come true, because with him came everything else. all that I’d ever wanted and desired.
I thought back to months ago when I first came to Chicago.
It was a gloomy day when my bus pulled into the station, and I was weary from the journey I’d had.
Not just the bus journey, but the journey life had put me on.
So much had happened to me at that point and I couldn’t see how I was ever going to fix things.
It was all so uncertain.
I never, ever imagined that things would work out this way.
Love was definitely not part of the equation, and neither was owning my own firm.
I couldn’t get past that part. It just seemed that things were bad for so long that I never thought they’d ever be good again.
I kissed him again, savoring the way he made me feel, and all the hope that he brought.
“Come home with me.” Alex pulled away and beamed at me. His eyes turned that liquid silver color that fascinated me.
“Yes.” I nodded excitedly
He stretched out his hand and I took it, ready to be led to the next adventure.
Instead of wanting to escape life.
I wanted to throw myself into it.
I wanted to live life with him.
My angel.
