A New Home
With her rehabilitation done, Shepard and Garrus fled to the warmer corners of Earth. Shepard was a little guilty, leaving all the rebuilding behind but it was Hackett who had told her to go. She had saved the galaxy three times over already, she deserved a break.
Garrus surprised with a new home. A gorgeous, spacious home right on their own private beach. No neighbors or noise to be had. Just them and their own expanse of paradise. It was everything Shepard needed to be happy.
"You weren't kidding when you said we'd retired somewhere warm and tropical" Shepard stated.
"Of course I wasn't. This is what we need, no deserve Shepard. After everything we've done for the galaxy. No more fighting Reapers or Geth or Cerberus. From now on, it's just us" Garrus said.
Shepard took hold of his hands and kissed him softly. She sighed and glanced up into his eyes.
"I like the sound of that. Now, why don't you show me our new home" Shepard said.
Without saying a word, Garrus swooped Shepard off her feet gently and carried her inside, with Shepard playing laughing along.
