Epilogue

"Alfred, it's time to wake up love."

"Nngh! Five more minutes!" I replied.

A pair of warm lips touched mine.

"Come on love, we may have been rather active last night, but that doesn't mean we can be excused from the first world meeting of the New Year."

Groaning I got up I turned in the direction of my boyfriend. "And whose fault was it that we went so many rounds? Oh yeah, I remember now. It was a certain overenthusiastic Brit who attacked me as soon as I arrived at his house because two weeks of being separated was way too long."

"Stop! You're making me sound as bad as France!" he squawked. "And I didn't hear you complaining at all!"

"I was having too good a time to complain. And did you ever think that maybe France has rubbed off on you after all these years?" I replied cheekily, earning a bite on my left shoulder.

"Dude! Seriously?"

"Do you want another?" he growled pinning me back on the bed.

"As much as I would love to take you up on that offer, don't we have a meeting to get ready for?"

He chuckled and pulled me back up for a kiss before getting off me.

"Perhaps I'm being too much of an influence on you as of late. You are getting rather cheeky lately."

I just laughed and got up. "I was always snarky. You know that!"

He chuckled and waited until I was dressed before stealing another kiss.

"I know that love, that's just one of my favorite things about you."

If you would look at my smiling face for the first time

See me laughing with friends,

And being with the one I love

Could you tell that I'm blind?

For years I was afraid of letting anyone get close.

But now, I finally feel loved.

From both my friends,

Family

And Lover.

Now

I don't feel so trapped anymore,

In my dark world.

The End
