Chapter Eleven

“You know, I'm beginning to like you with this thing,” Anna said, sliding her hand across the side of Mack's face and the thick beard that had grown there.

“I wasn't sure how I felt about it when I first saw you, but it's grown on me.”

“Took me a while to get used to it as well,” Mack said, turning toward her in the bed, kissing her softly. She winced.

“You are going to have to keep it under control, though. It's starting to give me a rash from kissing you.”

“Maybe you just need to get used to it,” Mack said, leaping on her and kissing her fervently.

She squealed and tried playfully to beat him away for fear that the beard would scratch her too much. He broke off the kiss and spent a few moments staring into her eyes, those eyes he had spent so many nights dreaming of, and so many moments fearing he never would see again.

“Have I told you how lucky I am?”

“A few times, but I never get tired of hearing it. And we've both been lucky,” Anna replied, caressing his face as she kissed him lovingly.

“This is the beginning of the rest of our lives, you know that, right?”

“I hope so, as long as we can keep New Haven and the people within its walls safe.”

“If anyone can, you can,” she said.

He kissed her again, and felt the old stirrings that had been absent from his life for so many long months while he had been lost in the wilderness.

“I really missed you,” he said, breathing into her ear as he nuzzled into her. Anna smiled.

“I'm sure there are many things you missed,” she said, “but I think you have an important meeting to get to.”

“No rest for the wicked,” Mack said as he hung his head and gave her a weak smile. “Later?”

“It's a date,” she said, and smiled as she wrapped the covers of the bed around her and sighed with contentment.

Mack got dressed and left her, taking a moment before he stepped out the door to admire his wife and that she was there with him. Sometimes it still felt as though the world was some strange dream, or a nightmare; a nightmare he knew he never would wake up from, although the world which now existed would keep on turning. He stepped out of his apartment on this crisp morning, feeling the chilled air biting at his skin. It was getting colder every day, and soon they would be fully into winter. Already people were changing their clothing to have thicker layers, and they always were glad when a patrol returned with more blankets to offer warmth through the night.

He walked up to City Hall where he was meeting the council. On the way he met Freddie, Luis, and Grace, the latter two walking hand in hand. He nodded at them and they chatted a little bit as they walked up to Mack's office, ready to start the day and a new chapter in the lives of this growing colony.
