Part 65: I am happy that you are happy

" I will support you every step of the way."

——

That evening, Lisa walked towards the entrance of her rental building, and she was surprised to find Canary was waiting for her.

He was leaning against the car, his eyes fixed on her as she approached.

A warm smile spread across his face, and he walked from the car to her opening his arms to her.

She smiled and rushed to hug him.

She fell into his embrace, feeling a sense of relief and happiness wash over her.

The hug was tight and comforting, and she felt like she was finally home.

He held her for a long moment, his arms wrapped tightly around her, before finally pulling back to look at her.

"Hey," Canary said, his voice low and gentle. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too," Lisa replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Canary smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm sorry I've been so distant lately," he said, his voice filled with regret.

"I know I haven't been myself, and I'm sorry if I've worried you."

Lisa reached up and touched his face, her fingers tracing the lines of his jaw.

"You don't have to apologize," she said. "I know what you've been going through. I'm just glad it's all over now."

Canary nodded, his eyes searching hers. "Me too," he said. "I'm glad it's all behind us. I feel like I can finally breathe again."

Lisa smiled, feeling a sense of joy and relief wash over her. "I'm glad you can breathe again," she said. "I've missed seeing you smile."

Canary chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I've missed smiling," he said. "I've missed a lot of things, actually."

Lisa raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Oh? Like what?"

Canary leaned in, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Like being with you," he said. "Like holding you in my arms and feeling like everything is going to be okay."

Lisa's heart skipped a beat as he spoke, his words sending a shiver down her spine.

" let's go for a drive .." Canary suggested.

" Sure.." Lisa nodded and Canary went and opened the door for her.

Canary and Lisa drove out of the city, leaving the bright lights and bustling streets behind.

They hit the highway, and the GPS led them to a scenic route that wound its way through the hills and countryside.

The night air was cool and crisp, and the stars twinkled above like diamonds in the sky.

The only sound was the hum of the engine and the soft music playing in the background.

Canary and Lisa chatted easily, talking about everything and nothing. They laughed and joked, enjoying each other's company.

The tension and stress of the past few weeks seemed to melt away, replaced by a sense of freedom and joy.

As they drove, the darkness of the night was illuminated only by the headlights of the car, casting a warm glow on the road ahead.

The trees and hills whizzed by, a blur of shadows and silhouettes.

Canary glanced over at Lisa, watching as the moonlight illuminated her face. She looked peaceful, serene, and beautiful.

He felt a surge of love and adoration for her, and he reached out, taking her hand in his.

Lisa smiled, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "I'm so happy for you, Canary," she said. "You deserve this. You deserve to be happy."

Canary smiled back, feeling a sense of gratitude and love for her.

"I couldn't have done it without you," he said.

"You've been my rock, my support. I don't know what I would do without you."

Lisa's eyes sparkled with tears, and she leaned over, kissing him softly on the cheek.

"You'll never have to find out," she said. "I'm not going anywhere."

As they drove on, the night air grew cooler, and the stars shone brighter in the sky.

Canary and Lisa talked some more, sharing their hopes and dreams, their fears and insecurities.

They laughed and joked, and the miles flew by, until they found themselves at a scenic overlook, looking out over a breathtaking view.

Canary pulled over, and they got out of the car, walking to the edge of the cliff.

The wind blew gently, rustling their hair, and they stood there, looking out at the stunning panorama.

"It's beautiful," Lisa breathed, her eyes wide with wonder.

Canary wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.

"You're beautiful," he said, his voice low and husky. "Inside and out."

Lisa turned to him, her eyes sparkling with love and adoration. "I love you, Canary," she said.

Canary's heart soared, and he smiled, feeling a sense of joy and happiness that he'd never felt before. "I love you too, Lisa," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Forever and always."

Canary looked deep into her eyes and moved closer. Leaving no space between them, Canary's lips met Lisa's, and they shared a soft, gentle kiss.

The night air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the stars shone brightly above them.

The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the moment.

As they kissed, Canary felt a sense of peace and happiness wash over him. He had never felt this way about anyone before, and he knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life making Lisa happy.

After a few moments, they pulled back, smiling at each other. "I should get you home," Canary said, his voice low and husky.

Lisa nodded, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "Yeah, I should probably get some rest."

Canary smiled, and they walked back to the car, hand in hand. He opened the door for her, and she slid into the passenger seat. He got in behind the wheel, and they drove back to her place in comfortable silence.

As they pulled up to her house, Canary turned off the engine, and they sat there for a moment, looking at each other. "I had a great time tonight," Canary said, his voice filled with emotion.

Lisa smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "Me too," she said. "I'm so glad we could share this moment together."

Canary leaned over, and they shared another soft kiss. "I'll call you tomorrow," he said, his voice low and husky.

Lisa nodded, smiling. "I'll be looking forward to it."

Canary smiled, and they said their goodbyes. He watched as she got out of the car, and walked up to her front door.

She turned and waved, and he waved back, feeling a sense of happiness and contentment wash over him.

As he drove away, Canary couldn't help but feel grateful for Lisa, and for the love they shared.

He knew that he would do anything to make her happy, and he couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.

He smiled hoping for better days to come.
