Chapter 32: Home

A/N: They're back in London baby!

Saffron's POV:

As Erynn and I walked into my old flat, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia. It had been a year since I had lived here, and yet the memories flooded back to me so easily.

"The place hasn't changed much," Erynn said, looking around the living room.

I smiled. "I know. It's weird, but it's almost like I never left."

As we began to unpack the boxes, Erynn was quick to offer her help. It was a long & tiring day, and we were both covered in sweat after lugging heavy boxes up the stairs. But somehow, being here with Erynn made everything better.

I watched as she carefully folded my clothes and placed them in the wardrobe. She was so gentle, so caring, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for her.

"Thanks for helping me with all this," I said, as we sat down on the sofa to take a break.

Erynn smiled at me, her eyes meeting mine. "Anything for you," she said.

I leaned my head on her shoulder, feeling my eyes close at the comfort of her touch. "I'm so happy you're here with me," I said.

"I'm happy to be here," Erynn replied softly. "I knew buying the flat next door was the right move." She teased. Putting her arm around my shoulders. Did I mention that Erynn is my neighbor? She now lives in the same neighborhood as me, Nima and Madiha.

My heart swelled at her words, and I knew without a doubt that I'm deeply in love with her. Her touch, her words, her smile... they all filled me with a sense of warmth and security that I had never known before.

As the day wore on, we worked together to transform the flat into a cozy and comfortable home like before. I was busy unpacking my boxes in my room when Erynn called out to me from the living room. "Hey, Saff, come check this out!" She said excitedly.

I made my way to the living room, curious as to what had caught Erynn's attention. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Erynn holding up a guitar pick and a bunny keychain. It took me a moment to realize what she was looking at.

"Where did you find those?" I asked, completely surprised.

Erynn beamed. "I found them at the bottom of one of the boxes. Remember when I gave these to you on one of our first dates?"

I couldn't help but smile, I had kept it all this time, even after our break up. It was a token of our love, something that reminded me of the good times we had shared.

As I took the items from Erynn's outstretched hand, I couldn't help but notice the emotions welling inside me. There was a twinge of sadness, but also a deep sense of warmth and nostalgia.

""I kept them because they reminded me of the good times we had. And also because I knew that one day we would find our way back to each other," I said, a small smile forming on my lips.

"Thank you for always remembering the little things, it means a lot to me" Erynn said, feeling touched by my gesture.

I grinned and leaned in to place a kiss on her forehead, "Of course, I could never forget. I'm just glad I didn't lose them."

As we settled onto the sofa that evening, me resting my head on Erynn's chest, I know that no matter what the future held, I was exactly where I was meant to be... with Erynn by my side.
