"I just remembered, there was a story my mom would tell me, about a Zombie falling in love with a human."
Addison grinned slightly. She turned her head to look at him. "You're kidding?"
"How could I forget? It was one of my favorites. All they ever wanted was their happily ever after. Their…" he grinned and nudged her shoulder. "…someday."
Addison gave a hearty laugh. "That's so cute!" she gushed. "Oh my god, our relationship mirrors a bedtime story your mom told you. I literally love it!"
Zed smiled at his girlfriend's excitement. "How does it end?" Addison asked.
"Movies and long walks in the park," he sang, soft and slowly. "Handing out anywhere we want."
Addison smiled at him. "I like the way your thinking, I can almost see it."
"I love how every date we go on, we always end up singing 'Someday'," Addison said with a smile. "Favorite song, tops. I wish we could record it so I could listen to it when you aren't around."
"We could try," Zed said. "Before the outbreak, Bonzo's parents had a small recording studio that ended up on the human side of town. They've still got the deed and everything. I'm sure we could work some Zeddison magic."
Addison grinned and squeezed his hand. "I like the sound of that."
"Zeddison magic?"
Addison smiled brighter and shrugged. "Or just the sound of your voice," she said in a sort of shy voice. "I feel like it's been forever since we've done something like this."
She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed happily. "I just love you so much," she went on. "I wish there was a stronger way to say I love you."
"I worship you," Zed offered meaningfully. "I'd trade my life for yours. I'd give up everything in my entire world just to have five more minutes with you."
Zed walked around so he was standing in front of her. He took her hand in his and placed it on his chest, pressing it against his heartbeat.
"Do you feel this?" he asked quietly. Addison nodded slightly. "This is the beat of my heart. My heart beats for you and only you. I love you because you make my heart beat."
"My heart beats for you and only you," Addison repeated, her voice strained from choked back tears.
She stepped forward and tilted her head up, just as he tilted his head down and they kissed, soft but passionately, like nothing else in the world mattered but each other.
