As Enzo spoke, I felt my heart begin to race. I pictured all of the times that we were saved by our
friends, all of the times that we laughed and danced with them. I remembered our camping trip as clear
as day, when we played spin the bottle around the fire and when Lori and Jessica kissed for the first
time and when we hiked up the mountain together. Even despite the incident with K and the fact that
James eventually turned out to be a traitor, I only thought about the good things about that trip. I
wanted more of those trips.
Suddenly, I stood and looked at Enzo.
“You’re right,” I said. “I can’t imagine a life outside of Mountainview, either.”
Enzo’s eyes lit up slightly, although I could tell that he was trying to hide his excitement in order to not
influence me one way or another. But it was too late; I had already made up my mind.
“So, we’re going home?” he asked quietly, standing and looking down at me.
I nodded, feeling my eyes fill up with tears. But they weren’t tears of sadness; they were tears of joy. I
took Enzo’s hand and smiled up at him, then began to lead him back to the mansion to tell my father
about my decision.
“Yes,” I said. “We’re going home.”
