He places me back onto my feet, and dozens of questions fill my mind.
“How? Why? Uh… What are you doing here?” I finally get out.
“I told you, Alexis, if I could, I would. Well, now I can.”
After a quick introduction to my family that leaves them confused and slack jawed, we hurry out to his waiting truck. He takes me to his little apartment in town, where we don’t leave the bed for the rest of the evening.

Wakingthe next morning wrapped in warmth and the smell of him, I see it wasn’t just a dream. He really came for me.
Slowly opening my eyes, I catch a glimpse of the sleeping monster before me. He’s so different like this. Not just the lack of prosthetics and makeup. He’s so serene. His forehead lacks all lines of concentration. It’s like I’m catching a glimpse of the boy he used to be.
My fingers itch to trace the planes of his face.
“Good morning sweetness.” His sleepy voice is practically orgasmic.
“Good morning.”
His eyes blink open, and I’m in awe of their chocolatey color. The memory of his bright-white gaze on Halloween was great, but this is what I want, forever.
“I never want this dream to end,” I tell him.
“I’ve got some great news for you, then. It’s never going to. I’m yours until the end of my days.”
My eyes fill with tears, my chest heavy with emotion.
“And I am yours.”
Our lips meet, and soon we are lost in each other, finally able to enjoy the guarantee of a tomorrow.
