You’re the one who started it. And way to be professional, Liv. No signature? Really?

Epilogue
OLIVIA - FIVE YEARS LATER
“Morning, birthday girl.” I press a kiss to Liv’s bare shoulder as she stirs in my arms.
“Morning, Tag,” Liv purrs.
It’s a lazy summer morning. All I want to do is spend the day in bed with her. It’s the only plan I made for today.
“Is there anything you’d like to do today on the big birthday?”
“As long as nothing big happens, I’m fine.”
I smile into her shoulder and press another kiss there before rolling her onto her back, staring into her sleepy face. Pillow lines crinkle her gorgeous face.
“Oh? And what big things might be happening today?”
“Tag.” She lets out that long-suffering sigh she loves giving me. “We’ve talked about this. There will be no proposing today.”
“I know that. It doesn’t mean I can’t spoil you in other ways today.”
Liv and I have spent a lot of time talking about the future. The kind of plans we want to make.
Together.
The Lightning have won the cup these last two seasons. My future here is solid. My future with Liv? Secure.
She still has hard days to work through, but that’s okay. She still sees her therapist, and the hard days are few and far between.
