Page 65 of The Other Side of Wild
I lean against Greyson; he wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me in closer. Leaning my head on his shoulder, I watch the chaos that is now ‘Framily Book Club’ with a smile on my face. “Thank you for showing me I’m worthy of love, for not giving up on me when I gave up on myself. You are the best man I’ve ever known, Greyson Wilder.”
He kisses the top of my head, at the same time, he squeezes my hand, “I love you, Hannah Lowery,” his eyes well up as he looks down at me. “You saved me from myself, you gave me something to fight for, and you best believe I’ll fight for you and for us as long as there’s breath in my lungs.”
I settle back against him, watching as food gets thrown across the room. Harley darting in every direction to pick up the scraps. And for the first time in what might be ever, I simply exist. Wrapped in the arms of a man who loves me, surrounded by people we’re lucky enough to call friends, I can’t think of anything better.
Life is good.
Life is beautiful.
Life is so much better on the other side of wild.
The end.
