Summary
Matt’s gaze darted toward the window as Evie greeted the cockpit, announcing their arrival and readiness for takeoff. As the fort climbed higher and higher, tears collected at the edges of Matt’s eyes, but did not fall. “Leaving a lot of good folks behind.”
Evie glanced at Matt, reaching for his hand. “A lot of brave folks.”
“The bravest.” Matt replied, squeezing her fingers. Slowly, the tension in his shoulders faded as the sun rose on the horizon, pinks and oranges staining the white of the clouds. The colors were beautiful to behold, a reminder of just how lucky he was to see them now, at the end of all things. “I don’t think I ever thanked you, Eves. For lifting me out of my darkest moments.”
“You didn’t need to,” Evie shook her head, brushing her thumb across his knuckles. “I’ll always be here for you, Matty. No matter what.”
