“And Alan was waiting for you,” she added. “He was frantic when you fell. Even more so than I was. It’s special, what you two have. I know how surprising it is, how strong. How you might tell yourself it can’t be real because it’s not like anything we’re used to in the other world. The world we grew up in.”
“The other world,” I murmured. “It sounds so… weird to say it like that. Up until now, that was the only world.”
“We had no idea.”
“No, we didn’t.”
“Maybe that was why we always felt so out of place,” she suggested. “Because we were never meant for that world. This was where we were meant to be.”
Was she right? Was this where we were meant to be all along? Was I meant to live there, in a tricked-out cave, working with Owen to keep the clan’s location safe from hackers like me? Loving the clan leader to the depths of my soul, helping him in any way I could, being proud of him for always doing what he felt was best for his clan?
He caught my eye then, still standing outside the doorway. There he was, so tall and gorgeous and mine, working out the details of adapting to life with another eleven inhabitants of the cave.
No. Twelve. Including me.
I smiled, and he smiled back.
Whether or not it was meant to be, I was all in.
I hope you enjoyed Alan!
