Chapter 11 - Bonus chapter

Fun fact:

The human heart creates enough energy in a single day to drive a truck for 20 miles.

And yet, I used all of that just to love Sophie—

and still felt like it wasn't enough.

It's been 25 years.

Twenty-five years of waking up next to the same girl I once saw reading a book on the metro.

We're happily married now, with a daughter who has her mother's eyes

and a son who has her stubbornness.

We laugh a lot. Sometimes we cry too, but never alone.

I still love her the same way I did the first time I fell for her—

that quiet, earth-shifting love.

The kind that makes the world make sense.

The kind that turns even silence into a language.

I retired early.

All the years I spent working when I didn't have a life—

turns out I saved up more than I needed.

So I write now.

It started with writing for her.

In her beauty.

In her mystery.

But people began to read those words,

and somehow, they saw themselves in them too.

Now, I go by Wind.

A name that means freedom to me.

Because nothing can trap me anymore.

Not fear.

Not the past.

Not even time.

And it's all thanks to a random girl

I once fell in love with

on a random train

on a random day

in a world that suddenly made sense the moment I met her.

This is our story.

This is Metro Love.
