Judith's POV,

I never imagined that I would be able to experience joy and happiness again after the recent turmoil in my life. I had resigned myself to the idea that I would never feel at peace or ease again, but being in Carter's arms, in this moment, all of my worries and pain seemed to fade away.

I saw the passion and great care in his eyes, how he had handled me like a great treasure, and just right there, I knew I could move on from all the hurt and pains that I had been dwelling in, I knew I had found the strength and courage I needed to put those things behind.

I woke up with my head resting on his chest, I could hear his heartbeat as he lay asleep, it was calm and peaceful.

His hands were still carefully wrapped around me, as we both cuddled into sleep, I felt my heart beat according to his rhythm, and like a synchrony, even though I was yet to know what it held, I knew it was the beginning of something new, "the beginning of a new me," the thought of it brought smiles to my
