Epilogue

{Three Months Later}

It's nearly the end of winter break at Violet Hill, and everyone is itching to return home from the holidays. It's been hard for Wanda over the past few weeks, with everything from Max to Pietro and the fact that she had neither of them for Hanukkah, but I know of a way to cheer us both up. We've been too focused on the past; it's time to look towards the future.

As she closed the door to the occult shop, I grinned widely as she jumps slightly. "Sarai Charbel Rizkallah, you can't just do that," she breathes, placing her hand over her heart.

I shrug with a mischievous grin, signing, "I wanted to surprise my beautiful girlfriend."

Wanda blushes slightly and rolls her eyes, slipping the keys into her jacket pocket. "You don't just get off the hook for calling me that."

"But I know you love it, so it does help."

"It doesn't hurt your chances, no." She shakes her head with a chuckle. "What are you doing here? I thought we were going to meet at the Panda for a date? It is our three month anniversary tomorrow, after all."

"I wanted to do something even more special," I reply, nodding to the car I have parallel parked across the street. "How about you and me take a road trip to the future, Ms. Maximoff?"

Though Wanda seems excited at the prospect of a trip with me, since she's biting her lip with a grin on her face as she sways from side to side, she also seems hesitant. "What kind of trip to the future, Ms. Rizkallah?"

I sigh and roll my eyes, gesturing tiredly to the car. "Just get in the fucking car, will you?"

Wanda gives in, but not before giggling and pressing a kiss to my cheek. "You know I love you, but I also love bugging you, too."

"Seriously, a bug joke? You know, bees aren't bugs--"

"--Yes, Sarai, I know. I'm in the same major as you are, you nerd."

I hop into the driver's seat, and Wanda looks back at the suitcases and snacks I packed for the few hours drive. "I'm the nerd? Fine. I'm the bee nerd, and you're the magic nerd. Sound fair?"

"Super fair," she laughs, looking over her shoulder. "You thought of everything. Where are we going?"

I pull into the road and turn toward the interstate with a smirk. "I could tell you but I'd have to kill you. And I really like you, so I'll just keep it to myself."

In my peripheral vision, I see Wanda's eyes glow scarlet. "You know I can just take it, right?"

"It's a surprise, you witch!" I sign with one hand as a joke. "Let me have this one thing."

Wanda grins and leans back in her chair, her eyes reverting back to their normal green hue. "Fiiine. At least tell me how long we'll be in the car so I'll know if my legs will start to cramp up."

I shake my head. "Can't tell you that either. Sorry."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. Put on some music and stretch out your legs. You'll be fine." I reach over the seat and grab a sealed cup of coffee and a snickers bar. "Here, you're not yourself when you're hungry."
