Emma, my dear, listen:

The storm that is coming is going to upend everything, throw all nations into chaos, and destabilize all systems of order that aren’t bolted down to a true doctrine of faith.

There is no opinion or belief in this matter. If they are true, they will be secured, but not necessarily safe because of what will be causing the chaos.

Also, you need to face your heart already. You and I both know that there is something going on between us, and what that something is. On top of that, there is nobody better suited and qualified to weather the storm that is coming than me. I’ve already been through it, am in fact the solution (not because of my doing), and know what to do about the chaos.

It’s like that game Dead Island 2, and I’m Sam.

Yeah, I popped out for a beer 15 years ago and just now came back, but girl, you and I both had lives to live and couldn’t do so together. That’s done with and the world is changing. Now, if either of us are going to keep our lives that we worked so hard for— our best bet is to work together and be friendly.

I’m not saying you and I need to fall in love again, but I’m not saying we shouldn’t either, because I definitely want to. At the very least, you need a strong, good man at your side who can kill the freaks, gather resources from the dangerous spots, and keep you supplied for your work.

Also, I’m immune, and if we get married, you’ll be immune too.
