Dust motes danced in the slanted light piercing the grimy window of the abandoned house. The silence was broken only by a soft sigh of relief. Newt sat on the floor, his arms wrapped tightly around Thomas. Thomas had finally found a semblance of peace, his head resting on his lover's shoulder, his eyes shut against a world that had felt hollow without Newt. After a year of torment, separation, and despair, they were together again. Thomas felt the warmth of a familiar body, and the tears he'd held for years finally dried. Newt whispered something soothing, his hand slowly stroking Thomas's hair, confirming this wasn't a dream. They had survived. They were together.
