He shakes his head, laughing at me. Then he sobers, a hint of a smile still toying with the corner of his mouth. “How do you do that?”
“Do what?”
“I don’t know,” he shrugs. “Make everything good.”
For a second, I consider reminding him everything is not good. One of us will die soon. Erin’s already dead. All around us, people are dying. Kids are dying. The two people who ruined my life are wandering this arena, waiting for the chance to end it for good. And the world around us is watching from the comfort of their living rooms, completely unaware of what it’s actually like. Nothing is good.
Then, I realize.
At least, in this moment, everything is good. I’m fed, I’m warm, I’m healthy, the weather’s nice, and I’m with someone who cares about me. And if I’m going to die, be it today or tomorrow, I might as well enjoy one good moment. So I grab Leo by the collar of his hood, haul him toward me, and kiss him.
