“Just a little.” She stopped and sat down next to her friend on the sofa. “I guess you were right. Things worked out for the better.”
Celeste’s eyes filled with tears. “It’s going to be so different without you around. I’m going to miss you. These past couple of years have been a lot of fun.”
“Don’t. You’re making me cry,” Ally sniffled, wiping an escaped tear from her cheek. “Besides, I’ll still talk to you and come visit and we’ll still be friends. We just won’t be roommates. And you can find the love of your life and move in with him and things will be perfect.”
“With my luck, I probably met him already and passed up the chance,” Celeste grumbled.
“Have faith. Everything will work out for the better if you believe it will,” Ally said, smiling. “Just believe.”
“Thanks.”
Celeste gave her friend a big hug as there was a knock on the door from Nick. Ally opened it and kissed him softly. “I’m ready to go. This is all that’s left.” She motioned to the box. Nick picked it up and led her downstairs.
As they drove down the road back to Florida, Nick smiled. “We’re finally together, Ally. It’s you and me now.”
She leaned against his shoulder and closed her eyes, inhaling his pleasant scent. She liked the sound of that. “You and me now.”
