"I just don't understand why you would choose to stay. You were free the moment you woke up after that fuck murdered you," she shouts catching the attention of those passing by. "I asked him to kill me, Kenzie. He fulfilled his obligation to me knowing it was going to fuck his life up. You don't get to come into my life after leaving for five years to question my choices.

"I know. That's exactly how I feel," I whisper. I give her a moment to compose herself and wipe her tears when she steps back. "We're going to be okay,"

"How do you know?"

"We have to be. We don't have a lot of options," I laugh.
