The familiar voice calls to me, but everything is muffled. "Max..... Max..... Max, sweetheart, come back to me." I open my eyes, and I see beautiful green eyes staring at me, filled to the brim with concern. "Kate! You're okay...." I say, before breaking into small, silent sobs. She pulls me close. She says, "Max... why would I.... did you have a nightmare? Talk to me, Max." I sob silently. I manage to say, "Kate, I couldn't save you. I watched you on the rooftop. I reached out, but something was stopping me from getting to you. I- I don't wanna lose you, Kate. Not after what we've been through together." Kate presses a finger to my lips and kisses my forehead, telling me, "Max, I'm not going anywhere. And you saved me from that rooftop, and I'm eternally grateful for that. You've done more than enough for me in one lifetime, and you keep doing so much. Every time I look at you, I see you with angel wings. You've clearly earned the title of "guardian angel". Max, I will never ever leave you. I promise." I pull her into a hug, and she embraces me warmly. If I'm looking for that right person to spend my life with, I think I've found her.
