Chapter 8: Epilogue

The next few days were some of the happiest Zack could ever remember. Maddie didn't stay sick long and once she was better they helped her move all of her stuff into her new suite. Zack was overjoyed at having Maddie live so close now and went to see her every day. During his shift one morning he got a call from Maddie.

"Zack when you get a lunch break come up to my suite. I have something for you," she said.

"Well it looks like I have a lunch right now. Be up there in a second," Zack said and took off so fast that he almost missed the desk with the "closed" sign.

Zack was at Maddie's door within a minute and knocked quickly. She answered the door and told him to come on in. She then led him over to the window. "Isn't it beautiful?" she asked about the view.

"Yeah, but not as beautiful as you," he said and put his arms around her. "So what is it that you have for me?"

"I believe I owe you something," she said and leaned in and kissed him on the mouth. It was the greatest kiss Zack had ever experienced. Her lips were just as soft as he imagined them being all those years. After a couple of minutes they finally broke apart. "999 to go," Zack said with a smile.

"Plus a few thousand more," Maddie said with a chuckle.

"That's a lot of kisses," Zack said.

"It's okay we have the rest of our lives to get to them all. Everything is going to be okay now that I know you'll always be there to take care of me," she said and then kissed him again.

The End.
