“I am that too.”
She said, “And when this is all over, you’re going to marry me.”
He gaped at her. “Did… did you just propose?”
“You were dragging your feet, you motherfucker. One of us had to do it.”
“I love you so goddamn much,” he whispered fiercely, and Joshua let out a little squawk as his father bent over to kiss his mother.
When she pulled away, she reached up and touched his face. “Come back to us,” she said quietly. She took Joshua from him and turned away, following a group of women to their truck in front of the house. They’d take her and Joshua to the bunker.

Chris and Tanner standing in front, facing each other, their foreheads pressed together.
Chris said, “You stay by me.”
Tanner said, “I’ll never leave your side.”
Chris said, “Except when I tell you to run.”

Chris said, “You dumbass. Why are you like this?”

Chris said, “We’re so goddamn weird.”
Tanner said, “I know. Could be worse, though.”
Chris said, “Hell yes it could.”
I shook my head. Those fucking dorks. I loved them so.
IT WENT LIKE THIS:
Jessie hummed a quiet song, sitting on the porch in front of Dominique. Jessie was cleaning her guns as Dominique braided her hair.
I watched them through the window.
Dominique said, “I’ve been thinking.”
Jessie snorted. “Uh-oh.”
“Hush, you. Listen to me.”
