Escaping Home

“Welcome back friend,” he said with a slight draw. Nate wondered if Randy had lived in the south somewhere before crap hit the fan.
“So glad to be here, Randy. Thank you,” Nate replied.

He turned just in time to catch her as she jumped in the air and into his arms. Nate, stunned by her actions and somewhat embarrassed, returned her hug and briefly held her. She then whispered into his ear.
“Welcome to your new home, Nate,” Sammie said as she hugged him.
She was a strong woman. Nate could feel that. Her hair blew in his face, hiding her kiss on his cheek. It was good to be finally here, Nate thought.
The End.
