Chapter 155: Leigh

"Some people might wonder about it, you know? Ask why she's a hero if she committed suicide, but those people can suck it.

"Jo..." I shook my head at everything she'd done, everything she continued to do to keep her top spot as World's Greatest Forever Friend. "I love you."

"I love you, too," she said simply, and a shaky smile waved over her mouth. "Thanks for being alive and capturing all the heartbeat-challenged and making this kick-ass planet of ours whole again."

"Anytime."
