“It feels stupid to say, but I think I would find you and love you on the astral plane or another dimension or whatever,” Eleanor admits, tracing a finger over Tahani’s smooth collarbone as they lay under the stars.
“I’m not sure that’s how it works,” Tahani laughs.
“You don’t think?”
“I’m not sure. But there is something comforting, I think, in the choosing. That we chose each other. We chose each other, out of anyone and everyone who has ever died that is here with us right now.”
Something huge opens inside Eleanor at that. She never felt like someone had truly chosen her in her whole life. That someone wanted her for her and continued to want her.
If they were measuring time by Earth standards, it might have been millennia that they had been in the Good Place.
“Eleanor?” Tahani’s voice is soft in her ears. “Are you crying?”
Eleanor reaches up to her cheeks and finds them wet. “Oh, I guess so?”
Tahani pulls her tighter to her, sharing her warmth in the chill air.
“I wish I had met you when we were alive,” Eleanor confesses. “I wish we were the people we are now back then.”
“It never would have worked. We were too self-centered. We needed to be here, to go through what we’ve gone through to be who we are now.”
“I know. I know we’ve worked hard to get here.” Eleanor wipes her face. “I wish I hadn’t wasted my life.”
“Me too. But I’m glad I met you. I’m glad we’re here now.”
“Me too.”
“Maybe we could have been stars together,” Tahani says after a while. “On the astral plane or whatever.”
Eleanor laughs, a small delicate laugh and hugs Tahani closer. “Maybe we could have.”

Summary:
Hey! What did you and B do for your anniversary yesterday?
We kept it really simple and ordered in dinner and watched a few movies. I made a chocolate cake with edible flowers on top for dessert, and my guy is secretly a chocoholic so he was delighted with it. It was a lovely day!
