She couldn't say it then, when he was back from the dead and they were finally together.

When life was ready for them, waiting.

It looked like a happy ending.

But she couldn't say it.

Because she'd just found out he was alive—because it seemed to be something she had to say—because she was afraid, even though it was true.

So true.

(She leaves him hours later, and she says it then.)

But now, she says it.

Because she wants to.

Because there's nothing to stand in their way now.

No death, no leaving, just them—

Just love.
