Good Girl

Chapter 17

I felt so confident knowing that I’d gotten that far, but more terrified than ever at the same time, because I realized how everything would fall apart if anything happened to her. I realized how lucky I was to be with her, and how lost I would be without her.

I moved my hand up to push her shoulder away from me.

“Abby," I whispered.

“Hm?”

“Stay with me. Here.”

She pushed a stray piece of hair out of my face and put her hand on my cheek.

“I wish I could,” she smiled.

I pushed her slowly onto the bed and nuzzled my face into her hair.

 “If we were immortal,” I whispered into her ear. “I’d spend eternity with you.”
