Epilogue: One year after the war
Tris P.O.V
This last year has been hard on Tobias. Between helping restore Chicago and helping me recover, he has been really busy. Chicago is no where near where it was before the war, but we're making progress. He and I were one of the first settlers in the new Chicago. This allowed us to have first pick at where we wanted to live. We chose to live across from Millenium Park.
Today, Tobias and I are going to visit Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Amar, and George. Tobias needed to relax and have fun after all the stress he's been under lately. I was surprised when he agreed to go visit them without hesitation, they all live on the upper floors of the Hancock Building. They are most likely going to take us zip line.
When we drove to the Hancock Building, Tobias took a different route. Instead of taking Lake Shore Drive, he took Michigan Avenue. He said he needed an adventure, so I just played along. Zeke was waiting for us at the door. He blindfolded both of us, and lead us to the elevator. After what seemed like forever, the doors dinged, and slid open. I immediately knew we were on the roof from the cool breeze that blew into the elevator.
When Zeke took our blindfolds off, I looked over at Tobias and gave his hand a light squeeze to make sure he was okay. He looked at me with a half smile. Christina, Shauna, Amar, and George were waiting for us. The harness was already ready and hooked up.
"Alright who's fi-" Zeke didn't have time to finish before Christina answered.
"I'll go, I'll go!"
While Zeke was helping Christina get harnessed in we decided the order, Christina, Amar, Shauna, George, Tobias, Me then Zeke would be last. While we were waiting for our turn Tobias and I went and sat by the elevator. Before I knew it, it was Tobias's turn. Right before he climbs in the harness I give him a tight hug, and whisper "Fear God alone." loud enough that only he could hear me.
As he climbed in, I could see the change in his face, from Tobias to instructor Four. As he sped down the zip line he didn't move or make a single sound. I had to force myself to watch him to make sure he was okay. I couldn't stand seeing him so uncomfortable. Once he was on solid ground, I let out my breath that I didn't realize I was holding.
As Zeke strapped me in to the harness I looked out to the marsh. One of the new things we changed with the new Chicago was the marsh. We started cleaning it up. It wasn't clear yet, but it looked a lot better.
"1...2...3.." Zeke yelled on three he pushed me off the ledge. I felt like one of the ravens on my collarbone, soaring in the sky. I looked down at Lake Shore Drive just in time to read a message written in rocks reading " Marry Me 7." I start to cry. I can't believe what I just read. Once the zip line stopped they helped me out. Not more than a second after both of my feet hit the asphalt Tobias is down on one knee with an open box. The ring was a simple silver band with a black diamond in the middle with a smaller grey moonstone on each side.
"Tris, I've loved you since you jumped. Beatrice Prior will you marry me?"
"Of course I will!" As he slips the ring on my finger I notice there is an engraving, "4+7= forever"
