Epilogue
Garret woke to the sound of crying. It took him only a moment to realize the noise was coming from his daughter in the next room. Marie began to stir, waking up and grumbling darkly about wake up calls at four in the morning. Garret smiled and hugged his wife before climbing out of bed. "Don't yeh worry about it, 'ah'll take care o'it." He made his way down the hall and smiled as his mind wandered. He and Marie had grown closer as time passed, their relationship evolving to heights much more than friendship. Garret had become used to his dark world after some time, learning how to rely more on his other senses rather than his eyes. Marie never left his side, when they took walks she always gently guided him around rocks, tree roots, and other obstacles that might cross their path. Garret pushed open the bedroom door, morphing into "dad mode" as he entered the room. "'ey sweet'eart, is everythin' alright in 'ere?" He heard a sniffle from his daughter as he sat down on the edge of the bed, and t wasn't long before she wraped her arms around him. "Had a bad dream." He rubbed her back, placing a soft kiss on the top of her head. "Can you stay here?" Garret nodded. "Jest until yeh fall asleep, okay?" He felt his daughter nod against his chest and he leaned back as she snuggled close. Garret smiled to himself as his daughter fell back to sleep, things where definitively feeling good.
