Michael's POV

Y/n and I were outside in Neverland, just enjoying the view of the evening sun setting in the distance while the radio beside us played. A spread of a few food items laid on a blanket next to our shoes as we had both wanted to sit in the grass for a bit. Since Janet had our kids, today was all about us.

I laid on my side and snuck a glance at Y/n. The evening sunlight bounced off her skin so perfectly, the wind just lightly blowing her hair as she looked on in the distance provided a vision of ecstasy. Even after all this time and all these years together, she still never fails to mesmerize me. I didn't realize she caught me staring at her until she waved her hand in front of my face. Embarrassed, I snapped out of my trance.

Giggling, she asked, "What were you thinking Mikey?"

Just then, Liberian Girl started playing on the radio, the song I wrote for her after we visited Liberia five years ago. Smiling, I stood up and extended my hand to her.

"Would you care to join me for a dance my beautiful lady?"

Chuckling, she looked back at me.

"But I look like such a mess though."

She still took my hand and stood up, placing her other one on my shoulder as I held her waist close to me. We swayed to the song as our eyes never broke connection. I could stare into those eyes all day for the rest of my life and not ever get tired of looking at them. Our faces were so close together, I could feel her every breath against my lips and whispered ever so softly.

"You look absolutely perfect to me."

As the song continued, I couldn't help but see just how perfectly the lyrics captured her essence. So beautiful and so strong at the same time, stronger than anyone I knew. If it was even possible, I fell more in love with her than ever as I allowed myself to get lost in this amazing woman.

As the song drew to a close, I pulled her body close to mine and held her in my arms as if I'd lose her. She leaned her head against my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me as I laid my hand against the back of her head. And for God knows how long, we just stood there like that, perfectly content in each other's embrace.

As the first stars of the night were starting to appear while the sun finally dipped below the horizon, I pulled back to look at her once more. The slightly chilly breeze blew past us wrapped in this moment. In her eyes, I could see nothing but pure love for me which I knew was reciprocated in my own eyes for her. My hand brushed some of her hair away before I framed her face in my hands.

"I love you Y/n, my Liberian girl." And I kissed her under the starry sky.

I bet y'all are happy this series has FINALLY come to a close. And for those who read this and didn't get bored, thank you for sticking around!
