Locked to Adam
From here.
It's a decent hike all the way from The Compound to Adam's hut -- Their hut, she has to keep reminding herself. She's spent so much time there, she'd assumed it wouldn't be a big transition, but somehow, the move seems like an immeasurably large step... For her, and for the two of them.
They walk in amicable silence, stealing kisses and affectionate touches along the way, and she suddenly feels very young. With Adam, she doesn't have to pretend or forget. She remembers all of it, every horror in her life, but she's able to move on. To live.
That, she thinks, might be the biggest gift he's ever given her.
