Tempting Fate

Epilogue

It was a warm May afternoon. Camila was outside on the porch, sitting in a chair strumming her Gibson. Lauren walked out with two cups of hot coffee in her hands. Camila looked up at Lauren and put her guitar down as
Lauren handed her a cup Coffee. Camila smiled and put the coffee down. She took Lauren's hand and sat her down in front of her, taking the other cup from her hand and putting
it down. Lauren leaned back against camila as camila wrapped her arms around her, resting her chin on lauren's shoulder.
"So…the tour starts next week. Are you ready?" asked lauren.
"I'm never ready. But it'll be fun watching me panic, won't it?" replied camila.
"You're not nervous, are you?"
"Maybe…a little. But you'll never know that. I'll never let on," said camila as she nuzzled her face in lauren's neck.
"Well, I'll be there. I mean a musician is only as good as her roadie, right?" said lauren.
"You're not my roadie. You're my muse…who, coincidentally, will be carrying my equipment and bringing me drinks and setting up the stage…"
"Haha. Very funny. I think you've forgotten what a big deal you guys are now. Thirty-four sold-out shows? I think you can afford to hire people to that for you now," replied lauren as
she took camila's hand in hers. The last two and a half years seemed to have flown by for the two of them. Camila had filed for divorce shortly after her show that night at the club.
She and lauren have been together ever since. They eventually told their families about the relationship. It was definitely a struggle, but it
was a struggle worth fighting for.
Camila's family was a lot more supportive than they thought they would be. It seemed after the
whole David debacle, all they really wanted was to see camila happy. And camila could honestly say she was. Lauren, too. She had spent
seven years running from the one thing that made her happy. And now she vowed to never run away again. With Camila by her side, she
knew there was nothing that could ever pull them apart.
They sat there looking out at the view in front of them. The Montana sky was turning from a bright blue to reddish orange color as the sun was slowly setting over their small ranch just
outside Columbia Falls.
"Camz?"
"Yeah?"
"You know I love you, right?"
"Yeah. I know," replied camila as she gripped lauren's hand tighter. "You know I love you, too, right?"
"Yeah," said Lauren as she turned around and gently kissed camila "I was just checking,"
