I had made it another day. The sun was shining on my face as I lay in bed basking in its warmth on a fine spring day. Dreams of days gone by, when the Sunshine Happy Gang was saving the world, flipped through my mind like pages in a book. A light knock on the door awakened me from the musings of my past, making me all too aware that it was just a memory and I was no longer that Lauren Lewis. What lay here was just the last remnants of a brilliant scientific mind that had helped one amazing woman change the course of the Fae. That was a long time ago though. I finally retired last year after I started feeling ill. Since then, things had gone downhill gradually as I was able to do less and less. Now I was bound to our home with only an occasional outing to the park. When I could focus long enough to read them, I still enjoyed keeping up to date with my medical journals. They say my work changed medicine and that most of the research being done today was based on my groundbreaking work. I don’t know about that, but it is kind of them to say. Dyson, Trick and Tamsin would stop in from time to time to chat about current events. They knew how much I enjoyed stimulating conversation. Even Evony had made an appearance a few times to make sure that I had everything needed, but there was only ever one thing I needed.

The only other human in our life, Kenzi, passed away a few years ago. We all missed her vibrant spirit and wisecracks which she kept up until her final days at the age of seventy nine. Bo did bring her back from Valhalla with Tamsin’s help, but Kenzi’s drinking eventually caught up to her. At least she was happy, living the life she choose. That was all any of us could ask for and thanks to Bo, it was now a reality for us all.

We have had a wonderful life together after we finally navigated the many obstacles the life of the champion threw our way. We traveled the world, even stopped in Egypt for Bo. We fought side by side and cured hundreds of outbreaks. Our love survived lies, misunderstandings, spells, mystical trains and supposed destiny. Once Bo united the Fae and humans were no longer shunned, we were married by Trick on an island beach with Kenzi as the maid of honor. Together, with our friends and family, we mapped the future of two species living and working in harmony. We were, and still are, the picture of love, compromise and understanding.
