The guys were staring at me again. The kitchen reverted back to pin-drop silence.
“You call me Savannah,” I said firmly. “That’s my name now. A new name, for new beginnings. A new start. A new life.”
They stood and surrounded me, sweeping me into their arms. Showering me with kisses and affection, as I let go of the last jagged pieces of my broken past.
Goodbye Julia.
The name meant nothing to me anymore. Not in the face of what I had.
My old life.
I smiled inwardly, realizing I was okay with it. No, even better than okay. I was pumped and excited.
“Savannah…”
I looked up, straight into the glowing faces of my three lovers. Beaming at what I had with them right now, and even better, the future we’d have together.
“Yeah?” I smiled.
“Let’s go.”
They pulled me along with them, ushering me back through the door. Down into the street, to whatever next adventure awaited us.
I had no clue where we were going. Only that I was going with them.
“We celebrating?” I asked.
“Uh huh,” said Roman.
“Big time,” laughed Zane.
“Aren’t we always?” added Erik.
“Well yeah,” I chuckled, slipping playfully from their grasp. “Of course there’s a lot to celebrate, especially for you guys.”
Pulling away, I skipped ahead a few steps before turning around with a wink.
“After all, the three of you get to be with me.”
Epilogue
SAVANNAH
“You sure you’re ready?” asked the voice on the other side of the door. “Blindfold and everything?”
“Yes,” I breathed, my heart already beating rapidly. “Blindfold’s on.”
“Tight?”
“Yes, tight!”
“Alright then.”
The door opened with a whoosh of air, and I was led inside by the hand. Immediately it was warm. Comfortable. I could smell scented candles, the kind you always burned during the fall. Music played softly somewhere near the back of the room, or maybe the next room, I couldn’t tell.
The voice had stopped talking, so I couldn’t identify it. But the hand grasping mine pulled me forward, blindly, as the rest of my senses struggled to make up for my lack of sight.
“The living room,” I guessed, with a giggle. “Obviously.”
