You pull Leon's jacket tighter around you as Claire walks out of the room with just an umbrella as a weapon. "I wish Leon were here," you think to yourself, mainly because if Leon were here, he would've shot the senator by now.
Moments later, you hear the door open and the familiar sound of combat boots echoing through the room. You get up, at first to make sure these guests were no threat to you, but then because you recognize your husband as the leader of the group.
"Leon?" You ask, startling the people in front of you. He says your name and that's all it takes for you to run into his arms. Leon's arms tighten around you before loosening enough to give you a kiss and pulling you back.
Someone in the group behind him clears their throat and you pull away from Leon to see who it was. Claire looks at you over Leon's shoulder with a strained smile. "Oh right," you think, "Claire was with Leon in Raccoon City. She probably thought she had a chance with him." Another person clears their throat and you turn to see it was the senator.
"Sorry to interrupt... whatever the hell that was... but shouldn't we find a way out of here?" He says, looking at Leon to see what he has to say. As Leon talks, he grabs your hand and rubs circles on your skin with his thumb.
You tune out the senator's screeching and look at Leon, you hadn't seen him in a couple days, but he was just as beautiful as you remember. His brown hair, his loving eyes, his sweet smile. Everything you've ever loved is standing right there in front of you and even after 5 years of marriage, you can't believe you get to wake up next to him every morning.
You follow Leon to the zombie-infested lobby and he hands you a gun, "Leon... You might need this..." He looks at you and you can see the pure desperation in his eyes as he says, "Take it. If you die, I'll never forgive myself."
Loading the gun, you aim at a zombie 15 feet away and shoot, barely hitting its head but still taking it down. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Leon throw Claire his only gun right as he gets swarmed.
"Leon!" You scream, legs moving as fast as they can to get to him. In a matter of seconds, all of the zombies are dead. You can see Leon lying there, covered in blood, and you assume the worst. "I'm fine," you hear him say, "now, help me up, please?"
You get Leon to his feet and both of you go to make sure Claire is okay, and when seeing she is, you all leave. Leon puts his arm around your shoulder as you walk out the door and you turn to him, smiling. He kisses your forehead, making you giggle, and you finally go home.
