“You know what?” I asked as I once more pulled her into me.

“What?” she asked.

“I think that’s the best idea I’ve heard in a long time. Let’s do that,” I said.

I kissed the top of her head and smiled.

I was ready to put aside my gun now. I was ready for a life of peace with Iris and Tristan. I was ready to say goodbye to all of this if it meant that I could just be happy and stress-free.

As long as I had Iris and Tristan in my life and I knew they were safe, then I was happy.

That’s all that mattered to me.

And I knew that’s all that mattered to her, too.

Living a life together was a dream come true for both of us. And we were both ready to make it happen, starting now. I was excited for the future, and for the first time, I knew without a doubt the direction I wanted it to go. I knew who I wanted to have in my life, and I knew she would be there with me through it all.

It felt good to be held by the woman I loved, our son nestled in between us.

The professionals were taking care of the rest of the scene outside the house, so I led Iris back inside. I could deal with the paperwork of what happened later.

For now, I just wanted to spend time with my family. We would make some dinner and spend the rest of the evening together. After all, I had just nearly gotten killed, and I felt that my boss would understand if I didn’t come into work that night.

After all, I was enjoying being alive.

And I wanted to enjoy it with those I cared about most.
