“Will you still come for me?” she asked quietly. “What?” I asked gently. “If there’s a zombie apocalypse. Will you come get me like you said?” I had to move the phone away from my mouth. Tears squeezed from my eyes. “You mean if the world ends and none of this shit matters anymore?” I said, my voice thick. “Yes,” she whispered. Hot tears slid down my cheeks. “The world is ending, Alexis. That’s what this feels like. So come with me now.”
