Hope and Lucy
Lucy returned the smile. "You'll always be wanted with us." Hope didn't share their bond, but they were all from the same future. They'd been through the losses and the hardships and could understand each other in a way others couldn't begin to know.
"It's a strange feeling, isn't it? Being able to get together like this and not have to be worried about anything." It felt almost like a dream. Any second she'd wake up and be back in their future.
