Where We Ended

by Ashley Munoz

“You’re the closest I’ll ever get to heaven, to redemption or being found worthy. I look at you, and I see hope. Isn’t that all heaven is? Hope, eternity spent in the one place we can’t imagine living without? You’re that for me. You’re my religion, Natty. My place of worship and devotion. God wants nothing to do with me, but for some reason he still gave me you.”

“Brother, please do explain to me why the fuck you’ve cuffed yourself to my wife?”

Wife.

“So you what, snuck in and watched me like Edward watched Bella?”

“Where else would I go, Caelum? You’re my home, my heart…my entire fucking soul.”
