He had, annoyingly, pinpointed the exact truth of our lives. “We’re not characters in a story anymore, Kai,” I said, my voice softer than I intended. “We’re just… people who live here.” “But that’s the story!” he exclaimed, then lowered his voice, abashed. “That’s the story nobody tells. The ‘happily ever after’ that’s actually just more Tuesday after Tuesday, with better pie. Don’t you think people need to see that? That saving a place isn’t an ending, it’s a door?”

The Narrator's POV Life is a strange, merciless thing. It moves forward with a kind of relentless, unfeeling momentum, never pausing to consider whether we are ready for what comes next. One moment, you are laughing in the sunlight, hand in hand with the person who makes your soul feel alive, and the next, you are standing in silence, clutching the shattered pieces of your heart. It happens so suddenly, so violently, that you almost cannot comprehend it. Noah’s story is one we have heard countless times before, though rarely in such vivid, heartbreaking detail. A story of love discovered, nurtured, and then ripped away by the cruel, unrelenting tide of reality.

Hu​man things. I‌ could do this. Make a sa⁠ndwich. Eat it. Go back upstairs. Simp⁠le. I found a kn‍ife in the drawer.⁠ Started slicing the bread. The blade slipped. ​ S⁠liced‌ right across my palm. Deep. Too deep. "Shit."‍ I dropped the‍ knife. Grabbed a towel. P‌ressed it against my‍ hand. Blood soake​d throug‌h im⁠media​tely. Too much⁠ blood​. Way​ too much.

Epilogue: Time flew by, like a gentle breeze caressing your face. Today, looking back, I see how each chapter of my life intertwined in a story of love, overcoming and growth. The journey I started with a step of faith and courage has brought me to this moment, and each challenge overcome, each laugh shared, built the solid foundation of our family.

"Don't. Don't ever apologize, El. You didn't become Knife because you wanted to. You became Knife because you had to. Because your fate left you no option." Shocked would be an understatement. I never thought anyone would ever try to understand me. Never. But, here he was changing my thoughts. Changing my life. "Want to talk about it?" He asked as he sat down beside me on the soft grass as I leaned on his strong, broad shoulder. "Yes. I need to finish the story I started." I said as I gazed up at the sky which had now turned pitch black. "It was on the night of my fifth birthday." I pulled out the tale which had been buried deep in my heart swearing I would never pull it out.

“Of course, Yes, I am very happy now. Having our family back together means everything to me. And seeing you two happy makes me happier than anything else.” Sophie’s eyes sparkled. “I’m glad we’re all together again. It feels right.” James nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it feels like home.” Nina felt a surge of gratitude wash over her. Despite all the hardships they had faced, they were together now, and that was all that mattered. She gently stroked Sophie’s hair and kissed James on the forehead. “You know,” Nina began, “sometimes life throws us challenges to test our strength.

He was actually quite thin, having just recovered from an illness recently. But honestly, I didn't feel like walking on my own. His back wasn't exactly warm, but I could feel a slight warmth where his neck met his shoulders. I leaned against him, comforted by the familiarity of these past days working together. He never asked questions I didn't want to answer. A few tears fell without me realizing it. He sighed softly. "You're not unloved. Is it possible that I worked all those years, just so you could marry into the Reeses and have a more stable life?"

"This might be my last chance to live. I'll do anything! I'll even kneel if that's what it takes. Just please…" But Mom slapped me hard across the face and roared, "How did I raise such a selfish brat? Your brother just started his internship. What's the harm in helping him get some experience?" "No, Mom! Please, I beg you…" I cried out. "I really want to live… I'll do anything you say as long as you let me live…" Yet, she completely ignored me and began packing up the meal she had brought. "You're unbelievable. To think you can't even handle a minor illness without whining like a baby. But there's nothing left to discuss. This is final."

He gave her the excuse she needed to gobble a second round of the delicious fruit juice and a hotdog. "You are crazy." She shook her head in response to his answer about who he was. He did not lie. Livian White only existed to one person and that was her. That was all he was—her husband. She wanted an elaborate answer and he hated to make one up. So he chose to skirt around it instead.
