Prudence watched him pull off his white t-shirt and turn his back to hers. In the space that used to be blank, there was plastic wrap like she was getting on her back by Ink. Under it was a ball of yarn with two knitting needles sticking out of it. Around the ball it read Prudence.
The ball of yarn had a loose piece that dangled down and was tied to an anchor, just like the one she just got. With tears in her eyes, she saw on the other side the one with the man’s print and the wolf’s had a smaller set of feet next to the man’s, walking side by side.
Prudence let her mouth drop open. It was amazing and so incredibly touching that this big tough man would spend the rest of his life with a purple ball of fucking yarn on him.
“You have yarn on you, honey.”
Maverick turned around and cupped her face. “I have you on me. My Prudence and her cozies. Without that I wouldn’t have met you. I wouldn’t have someone to walk beside me the rest of my life. I’ll proudly wear it to show everyone that I’m yours and you’re mine. I used to think karma was out to get me for all the wrongs I’d done in my life. I think now that karma is about balance. All the bad I’ve done and seen—I didn’t need more bad to punish myself. I needed forgiveness and love to set things right in the universe.”
Prudence was choked up with emotion. “There is still a blank spot. Are you not done with your redemption?” The space was even more glaringly blank with his new work.
“I’m saving it for our kids. That’s when I know I’ll have succeeded.”
At that Prudence let the tears fall. “I think that will mean we’ve both succeeded. I love you so much, Maverick.”
“Thank you for that. Thank you for bringing me back to life, Pru.”
They didn’t hear Ink slip out of the room as they kissed and made all the promises that they knew they would be able to keep now that they had each other.
