I Can See The Stars From America [COMPLETED]

Epilogue

Epilogue

It had been 4 years.

I was done with my undergrad and was on my short break.

Everything was going smoothly like how it was supposed to.

I was a much loved student in my university.

I overcame my disability with ease.

I accepted how I used to be and how I was now.

My blindness made me realise how strong and capable I was.

Celeste was now 6, almost 7, and was living a beautiful life with her parents. Carol and I were asked to be her godparents which we immediately agreed to.

As for Carol and I?

We couldn't be doing any better. We flew to each others' during the holidays and spent a lot of time together.

She wanted to do her post graduation in Oxford itself so she had applied and got in. She was already a year ahead of me because it's only 3 years of undergrad in the UK.

I had plans on studying in London because the courses on Cognitive Science had a lot of scope there. Plus, I would no more be away from Caroline and my godchild. Hence, I had applied to Oxford and had just received a mail in the morning stating that I had gotten accepted.

Riley was continuing at Yale itself and Lauren had applied to Yale too. She got the acceptance letter in the morning and the both of them have plans of moving in together. She would stay at the apartment in place of me.

I breathed a sigh of contentment as I looked up at the curtain of stars above me. Everything felt so right and in place, I loved the feeling.

"So that's how and why you wanted to get to know me? My voice stood out?" Carol's voice dripping with amusement had me breaking out of my reverie.

I chuckled to that.

"I know it's weird but it's true."

She chuckled at the other end and the both of us were enveloped in a comfortable silence. We had been talking since almost an hour and it was high time for her to sleep but she really wanted to stay up and talk to me.

"Can you see what I see?" I asked her, watching the bazillion stars twinkling over me like glitter scattered across the Prussian blue sky. I leant on my forearms with my legs crossed over on the grass and phone on my lap.

"See what, Kevin?" She replied.

"I can see the stars from America. I wonder, do you see them, too?"

"They're beautiful, Ed Sheeran." She whispered in awe.

I smiled at her response.

"Move in with me." I stated.

Her breath faltered on the other end.

I was surprised at my straightforwardness but I felt confident about what I said.

"W-what?"

"Move in with me when I come there." I answered.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"I was sure ever since I heard your voice."

I want to cringe but I'll try not to, lol
