The Future

Dark. Shrouded, yet not completely impenetrable.

I see the first step, the handrail, but the rest of the staircase lies beyond my range of sight.

"C'mon, Bells..."

"Baby, please!"

His voice is softer—quieter than it was—and my mouth tips up in a bemused smirk at his persistence.

He never could let me go.

Gathering my courage, I take the first step, smiling as I surrender...

"Bells!"
