‘Hey, Romeo and Juliet,’ Vic yells from the kitchen. I didn’t even notice her sneak back in. ‘There’s a time and a place for everything… hands where I can see them!’

There is a time and a place for everything and it’s exactly this moment. I don’t know exactly how we got here; fate, luck, sheer coincidence, I don’t really care. All I know is that we’re here and I’m grateful.

Hear that, universe? I’m finally grateful!
