I think of everything that’s happened from the moment I got Morgan’s contract up until now. Had I ignored my gut feeling and continued on with the hit, I would’ve had to live with the guilt of killing an innocent person. I would’ve returned to my lonely life and continued living in my gray and cloudy existence. I would’ve never known the sunshine that is Morgan that came after the storm. I would’ve never got to experience how nice it could be to have the company of someone who fit you in ways you didn’t realize you needed. She forced me to see and experience everything that I would’ve continued denying myself if I were left to my own devices, and now that I had a taste of that, I refuse to let it go.
A smile settles on my lips as I watch Morgan move from room to room, excited energy rolling off her in waves. I put my hands in my pockets and nod.
“Best decision I think I’ve ever made,” I answer truthfully. Morgan skips back over to me and wraps her arms around my waist, those baby blues looking up at me in pure adoration and love. And as I press a kiss to her forehead, I’m confident in my choice and ready for anything life throws at me now that I have my permanent sunshine by my side.
“Well, I’ll let you two get settled,” Natalie says. “You know if you need anything, I’m only a phone call away.”
“Thanks for everything,” I say. Natalie struts out of the suite, leaving Morgan and I alone again.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy,” she says with a content sigh before she smiles up at me. “I love you.”
I return her smile as I tuck a lock of her hair behind her ear. “I love you, too.”
She hugs me, her head resting against my chest. “To a new beginning,” she murmurs softly.
I kiss the top of her head. New beginnings. I like that. It’s everything I didn’t know I needed. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed.
And now that I have her in my grasp, I’m never letting go.
