Chapter 13: Alex
Karl and I are slowly integrating ourselves into the close-knit community of survivors. My closest friends are Claire, Charlie and Sun. But I'm still friends with everyone here. Karl loves being around me and Claire, and he loves talking with Charlie about music, while I talk to Claire. Today, I'm looking through my bags for the white dress I picked up from Juliet on our way out of the barracks. I find it, and just when I'm trying it on, Karl comes in. "Hey beautiful. Did I mention you look gorgeous in that?" He comes over and kisses me gently on the cheek. I smile and say. "Only problem is, I have no events to wear it to." I'm looking at myself in the mirror we brought, and Karl comes up behind me, and puts his head on my shoulder, and his arms around my waist. I look into his haze in the mirror, and I slip my hand into his. He leans down to kiss my cheek, but I turn, and he ends up kissing my lips instead. I smile, and he says. "Alex, will you marry me?" I turn, and smile and kiss him on the lips. Then I pull away and say. "Yes."
