Song | Never Enough from The Greatest Showman

--

"Take my hand.
Will you share this with me?
'Cause, darling, without you

All the shine of a thousand spotlights,
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough, never be enough.

Towers of gold are still too little.
These hands could hold the world,
But it'll never be enough,
Never be enough for me."

You hold your breath and your right hand holds a velvet box tightly as you read Wanda's note, the one she left for you and only you, the one that says she's leaving and never coming back.

"I'm too dangerous," it reads. "I love you, but I'm not enough."

The paper slips from you fingers, floating down to the comforter. Her belongings are packed. Everything she cherished most in the world is with her as she heads god only knows where.

Everything except for you.

You close your eyes, using your empathy abilities to connect with the woman you love more than life itself. All the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars you could steal from the night sky, nothing will ever be enough without her. That's why you'd brought your mother's ring with you to her bedroom. You never thought she'd be gone before you could pop the question.

Something inside you clicks, and you feel Wanda walking into a train station. Grand Central Station. She's going to board the 3 p.m. train to Toronto.

It's a one-way ticket.

You sprint from the base, taking the fastest vehicle you own into the city. You park alongside the Station, not caring that you're breaking a dozen traffic laws. You could hold the whole world and it wouldn't be enough if you didn't have her.

You burst into the Station, instantly spotting Wanda sitting on a nearby bench. She spots you when you enter, eyes widening. You run over to her, wrapping her in your arms.

"I can't stay," she whispers to you. "I'm too much of a danger."

"I never said you had to stay," you reply. "Let me come with you."

When you pull back, Wanda looks up at you with wide, teary eyes. "You'd do that for me? Are you sure?"

"Take my hand." You smile as her hand slips into yours, then you lower yourself onto one knee. Wanda raises her other hand to cover her mouth in surprise. You open the ring box and offer it to her. "You set off a dream in me. Darling, nothing is worth it without you. Will you let me share this with you? Will you marry me?"

Wanda's smile grows, and happy tears slip from her eyes. She pulls you up and kisses you passionately. "Yes," she answers.

You slip the ring onto her finger and pull her back in for another kiss, wrapping your arms tightly around her. People around you stare, but you couldn't care less.

Wanda Maximoff is going to become your wife.
