“Hu-nter…noooo.” She managed a sob that shook both of our chests. One I couldn’t stand to feel. I was done. We were done.

The pounding of heavy footsteps in the distance made my pulse jump. He was coming. He knew…but he wouldn’t win this time. It was too late.

My eyes connected with Tessa’s light green ones and flashes of friends and family began blinding me. Tessa’s smile stretched across her face as she waved me closer. We were still young. Still so happy. Tears. Yes, I was crying. Further, my finger pulled back and a sound escaped me involuntarily.

“Tessa!” The echoing roar that grew closer didn’t disrupt my moment.

Cold bit into my skin from the cool breeze rustling the leaves in the trees. Winter was in full swing in Austin, but we didn’t care. All we wanted was to be together, and now we would. I was going to turn back time. I was going to mend this right here and now.

“Do you think we’ll always be this happy, Hunter?”

Dark hair blew back from the gust of wind and I smiled, pressing my lips into Tessa’s as we sat on her parent’s porch swing. She was staring at me with all the love I felt for her.
