Chapter 152: Fire Part 2

Reluctantly I follow, gazing at Reid as he leads me from the tree. My chest swells, a deep ache growing inside me as I watch him, watch our hands clutching one another. It's hard to breathe as I realize what I did once before, back on Harrizel. This man... I'm in love with this man. Unconditionally, overemotionally... he really is it for me. Imagining life without Reid... it's impossible. It's a choking fear to think any sort of future could exist without him. I guess I was afraid to really acknowledge this, not since Harrizel, when we got our memories back. When he told me he couldn't. Because even though I didn't admit it then - to him or myself - it crippled me. He's too much not to have and until now, I wouldn't allow myself to really believe it. That it could end up this way - us together. Him actually choosing me. But it happened.

Reid chose me.

"Where have you two been?" Able raises a playful brow as we approach the small circle of Rogues near one of the bone lamp posts.
