xxxix. epilogue - dear happy





CORI SAT ON FLOOR as she strummed on her ukulele. She was trying to get the right chords for a song she had just wrote. As she thought intently, a pair of feet padded into the room. "Love?" They asked.

Of course, she didn't respond. Making the person chuckle, they sat down two cups on the coffee table before sitting by Cori. They sat cross-legged beside her and started peppering her face with kisses. Cori giggled in response, breaking her out of her trace.

"Tom! Stop it." She exclaimed, trying to push him off. Tom chuckled, plucking her ukulele from her and hovered over her. "Make me." He said, smirking. She inched her face closer to his, only to quickly turn his face with her hand to lick the side of it.

"Gross!" He laughed, crawling off of her and wiping his cheek. "Don't mess with me, Holland." She warned, pointing her index finger. "Mhm." He said sitting up, situating himself beside her. She picked her ukulele back up and started strumming again.

Tom watched curiously, before she found the chords and squeaked with excitement. "What?" He asked. She looked at him. "Do you wanna hear a new song?" She asked. "Of course, darling." He said, wrapping his arm around her waist.

Cori started to pluck lightly at the strings as she started to sing. "I miss you dearly. Thought I was nearly there, forever, at last together." She sang looking at Tom. "Is our time fleeting? Is even meeting a healthy idea, or am I getting to near?" As she sang, Tom joined along with her.

"Don't try to fight it, I'm here for tonight. And I'll be waiting for you, until we meet again." They sang together, smiles plastered on their faces. They continued to sing along happily to the song before coming to an end.

Cori stung the last chord, looking up at her boyfriend. "How did you?-" "It's not hard to know something if you sing it a lot." She blushed as he made the comment. "Ha, ha." She said sarcastically while putting her ukulele down and climbing on top of him. She stared at him for a while before he kissed her.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." He said cockily as his hands rested on her hips. "Oh, fuck off." She said playfully hitting his chest. They both giggled. "Why were you staring at me?" He asked, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Just, trying to figure out how I deserve someone like you."

Tom chuckled as he kisses her and rested his forehead against hers.

"Me either, love. Me either."
