The Day the Empire Crumbled / Chapter 28 / 28

Chapter 28: The End

I stood on the balcony of our new apartment.

The city stretched beneath me.

Alex came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.

"Beautiful view."

"Yeah."

"You okay?"

"I'm great."

"Really?"

"Really."

He kissed my cheek.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

We stood there.

Watching the sun set.

And for the first time in my life, I felt completely whole.

It wasn't perfect.

It wasn't easy.

But it was mine.

And that was enough.
