Adam watched me with an amused facial expression.
The rain was pouring down on us, but I did not care. I continued to spin in circles laughing. We actually made it. Sand got inside my shoes and I kicked them off into the air. Running to the ocean shore, I plopped onto the ground. Waves rolled up and licked my feet. I laughed at the icy feel of it.
This was home to me. The ocean. I was always obsessed with the ocean. I breathed in the salty, wet air.
Adam took a seat beside me. "Any chance we can go up and get some shelter? Maybe drink some hot chocolate." His teeth were chattering and his lips were blue.
"Come on, you need to toughen up." I joked.
Three months ago when we were at the sanctuary, I made him promise to take me to the beach someday. We went on one final mission, stole a military SUV, and here we were. I felt like my heart was going to burst with joy. I was smiling so much my cheeks hurt.
Adam wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into his body. Warmth radiated off of him. "I love seeing you this happy." He gave me a kiss on my forehead and watched the waves with me.
Eventually, I stood up. "We are going to get sick and die. Let's find that cabin you were telling me all about." I winked at him.
Taking my hand, we made our way back up the beach. My body as fully healed, my mind was at ease, and my heart was no longer in pain. The war was still going on, people were sill catching the disease, and people were still dying.
We avoided all that. We helped people when we could. We floated around for the past three months. We helped people build shelters, taught people how to hunt, and ways to survive in this world. Mostly we were alone, but together.
Adam led me to a small cute looking cabin. I was hoping for a fireplace so we could curl up in front of it. Maybe I could find a book and read it to him. Or tell him a story. He loved it when I talked about my life from before. I never felt like it was very interesting, but he liked to hear it. He wanted to know everything about me.
When we stepped foot inside, I didn’t have to flip the switch on to know something was wrong. Adam must have sensed it too because his body froze. We both had our guns out in a split second. It wasn't fast enough, though. Someone beat us.
The light switched on blinding us. I heard the all familiar noise of a click of a gun. Game over.
