I knock on his backdoor, my face wide with a grin. He opens it slowly, taking in my expression, my bags.

"It's official." I tell him. "I'm free." His grin grows to be just as wide as mine and I drop all my bags as we hug each other tightly. This is it. This is the future I was always headed towards. Gale was just a roadblock. But now I'm here.
