The world was collapsing but she wasn't sad to see it go. They were running, making it into some sort of absurd race that no one was going to win. But they were free.
It was a wild, exhilarating feeling, this feeling of letting go.
There was a moment, of course, when she felt like she was going to fall instead of fly, but he was right there beside her.
“Do you trust me?” His lips quirked into a smile.
“No,” she said, laughing.
But they both knew better.
They looked back. She wondered...
Then he wheeled her around, to face him and the future.
“Do you still trust me?” He asked, no smile on his face now. His face was so serious it could have been set in stone.
“I've nothing to lose.” That was true enough.
“But do you-”
“Yes.”
She knew about the abyss he was trying to save her from. But she wasn't going to fall. If she did, she'd fly sooner or later. She trusted him more than he trusted himself.
He smiled, no longer conflicted.
“Then, let's go,” he invited.
Infinity beckoned.
Life beckoned.
