I have never believed that our relationship with Rose could work out – because our age gap, because of the society we live in, because of our profession. All of it was a cosmic joke, really – something we both desired so bad, but could never get.

But as she is lying here, in my arms, so content, so happy, I have something I haven't had in quite a long time – hope.

Maybe we could work it out – maybe we could be together. In a few months, we are out of the Academy, we will in the Court, where is an ocean of opportunities. More flexible shifts. Less danger. It wouldn't be easy even then, but what is?

We will just have to try hard enough.
