“It’s weird. I never really thought I’d find anyone, but Ithink that’s because I’d already found you and just needed to reconnect.”

He stopped walking and turned to face her. “I thought about you a lot. I’m only sorry I didn’t find a way to contact you. You’re the one, and I knew it when we were younger.

Griz nodded. “We are. I love you, Elowen, and I’m excited we get this time now because being with you is the best adventure I’ve ever had.”
