Chapter 17

Sam

I had no idea how it had happened. I didn’t plan it. I’d dreamed it for years, for as long as I’d been old enough to consider what Miranda’s softness would feel like in contrast to my own body, what it would be like to pull her tightly against me, to hold her near. To breathe her.

To love her.

I’d known Miranda George practically my whole life, and still I felt like being near her was a privilege I hadn’t earned yet, like touching her was a prize I had yet to win.

But we’d spent the day together working side by side, both of us focused on a singular goal, a specific and important task. And in the face of life and death, in the face of losing absolutely everything we’d each ever known, all the petty years-old confusion between us fell away. All the grumbling and irritating jockeying for the upper hand became inconsequential, and for once in our lives we were moving in the same direction. It was as if we were stones working our way down a long canyon on the side of a mountain, tumbling and falling, constantly bumping into one another as we each looked for the most direct path, and finally we were both driving straight down on a parallel course, side by side.

When the sky opened up, and the first fat raindrop splattered on Miranda’s forehead, the world we knew seemed to trickle away in rivulets of falling rain, washing everything pretentious and irrelevant from us and leaving only what was true.

Miranda.

Me.

Her laughter ringing through the spattering rhythm of the falling rain.

The furious beating of my heart.

Her head thrown back and her mouth open. Her throat exposed as she laughed up at the opening sky.

Wrapping her in my arms in that moment was as natural as taking a breath, and when I spun her around and she threw her arms around my neck, my heart swelled, and I could feel it expand inside my chest.

This.

I could live in this moment for the rest of my life and it would be enough.

But when Miranda slid down to the ground, her body molding to my own and her arms still holding me close, when she stared up into my eyes and moved in, touched her lips to mine—that was perfection.

For that one moment in time, I had everything I’d ever wanted.

And then it was gone.
