I’m not forgiving him for the shit he put me through, but I want to see him sweat when I kiss you in front of him. That fucker will regret his invitation. Also… I decided to listen to your advice.”

“Meaning?”

“Lost chances, lost opportunities,” Luz explained before whispering in my ear. “By the way, I have a butt plug in my ass. I put it there just in case, you know? No pressure.”

I rubbed my forehead because… what was I supposed to say to that?

Was that the end of our story? With me in the hospital bed, and a gunshot wound in my shoulder? With Luz handcuffed to my bed, and a butt plug stuck in his ass?

You bet it was.

And why not?

Our love story might have been imperfect, but the ending was just right.

Did we stay together?

Did we get married?

Have Luz’s parents come to terms with their son’s sexuality?

Have Tye and Carter made another appearance?

As Luz would say…

“Pfft. Duh!”

THE HAPPY END
