Light snowfall graced the army encampment as night fell upon the northern land. The adventuring life outside of the Empire's capital could be rough at times, but Prince Matthew enjoyed it nonetheless.Not to mention he was also enjoying the company of the reason for his expedition in the first place.A few days ago, after a long night running a tabletop roleplaying campaign with his best friend Emily, they both woke up to a strange woman being present in his room. She was nearly-identical to him in terms of appearance, save for gender (and age, as they learned later), and was somewhat of a walking paradox; being his reflection, inversion, and counterpart all at once.As they noticed each other's presence, they were both initially confused as to what was going on. Rather than react violently or impulsively, they decided to calmly talk it out and figure things out based on the information they gleaned from each other.Matthew had learned that her name was Melina, and that she apparently was the empire's princess and sole heir. She indeed was a walking paradox, because she didn't exist in this world, or at least wasn't supposed to. Their current shared hypothesis was that she was a counterpart of his from another timeline, although they were both pretty sure such accounts of people meeting opposite-gender variants of themselves seemed to only happen in speculative fiction.As their first day together progressed, they had realized other similarities and discrepancies in their identities as well. While Matthew was the bookish type, often reading up on history, literature, and even elemental magic (he even had his own personal spellbook packed to the brim with his own notes on cold-based spells), Melina was quite the opposite.She still read up on topics that interested her, but she didn't really have the same skill and talent with the arcane compared to him. Instead, she was well-versed in physical combat, speedily slashing at foes with her personal custom-made sword.In addition to that, Matthew was a lot meeker in nature compared to Melina, who to him was the epitome of assertiveness.Which leads us to the present, back in the army's encampment as the starry darkness characteristic of nightfall bathed the sky in natural wonders.Matthew and Melina were inside the tent they both shared, side by side in a comfortable two-person bedroll with a violet and silver color scheme reminiscent of their clothes and hair. Matthew was reading a book titled "The Restorative Properties of Milk: An Adventurers' Guide to Survival, by Steve Myne and Alex Kraft", an unassuming book bound in green leather with a bucket of milk illustrated on the front cover. Melina laid down to his left, softly humming a familiar tune, soothing the boy as she petted his head and stroked his messy silver hair."Matt..." She started out of the blue, calling him by her personal nickname for him, "Do you have any kinks?""What?" Matthew was taken aback by this surprising question, no one had ever asked him that before."You're eighteen, right? Don't tell me you haven't started thinking about sex." Melina teased coyly, gazing at him alluringly as his pale complexion flushed an adorably embarrassing shade of red."Um... yeah, I kinda have?" He confessed, "After all, I eventually do need to carry on the imperial bloodline.""Nothing beyond that?" She asked incredulously, "Not even a general idea of what your ideal partner would look and act like, a list of what you'd like to touch, or a lewd thought of how you'd spice up your sex life?"Matthew's blush felt even hotter than before, extrapolated by Melina wrapping her arms around him and pressing her supple body into him. She continued her teasing by assuring him, "It's alright, cutie, you can tell me anything. After all, we are basically the same person, are we not? I love you as myself, and I'm sure you feel the same about me.""Yes, I do love you, Meli." The boy confirmed, "I wholeheartedly trust you, so I guess I'll play your game. I'd like a girl who'd be slightly older than me, hair done up in a ponytail, big breasts, and a sweet doting personality that enjoys showering me with the comfort of love and affection.""Well, ain't I a dead ringer for all of those." The woman laughed and remarked dryly, "Well, I'm pretty sure your best friend also fits all of the above criteria, but I'm twenty-one to her twenty and I'm pretty sure her boobs are slightly smaller than mine. Her rack is still ample, but not to the same extent as me."Melina stifled another laugh as Matthew was reduced to a red-hot sputtering mess, clearly unable to come up with a good reply to that statement. "Don't try to hide it, I know you've been sneaking peeks at our tits. Would you like to touch mine?"She took his dominant right hand with her own dominant left hand and led it to her left breast. Since they were both in their sleepwear, he could feel her voluptuous curves through the light layers, her erect nipples at full length from the cold air. He tentatively gave her ample mound a squeeze, cupping the soft flesh and tweaking her nipple between his fingers.The older girl moaned as her male counterpart started to play with her breasts, bringing his other hand to her right tit out of his own accord. His deftness when handling magic apparently applied to his fingers as well, skillfully kneading the near-perfect orbs of flesh even underneath her clothes."Give me a moment, I'll grant you a better look and feel." Melina whispered softly into his ear, catching Matthew's attention. Her sleepwear was nearly identical to his, consisting of a shirt and pants, both violet in color. She lowered his hands from her buxom chest and pulled her shirt up, revealing her large pale globes to the boy. Their exposure was accompanied with a slight bounce, her tits jiggling for a bit before settling down.Matthew was amazed by Melina's breasts, her rack being the first he had ever seen in his entire life. Vast white expanses of flesh, unblemished, firm, and round, the curves unbroken save for her raised peaks, her nipples and the surrounding areolae both of a pale pink pigmentation.He gazed longingly at her massive mounds, their size instilling in him the desire to wholeheartedly cherish them. The paradoxical princess couldn't help but find the young prince adorable as he held her ample tits, his soft fingers grasping her smooth pale breasts with the curiosity of a virgin but with the tenderness of pure love.The creamy complexion of her mammaries planted an eccentric desire in Matthew's mind as he lovingly massaged them, and as Melina stroked his head and softly ruffled his hair, he felt the urge to confess it to her."Meli..." He started, mirroring the start of what led to this situation, "This may sound weird, but I kinda want to see your breasts leaking milk. I want to suck on your teats, playing with your wonderful boobs until milk flows from your nipples for me to drink."Melina blinked in surprise at what he just said. She knew she couldn't produce milk, but somehow, the thought of her large breasts' size being put to use through milk production appealed to her immensely. "Oh, you. Cutie, these milk jugs are only for show, you know? My breasts can't produce milk."The ensuing look of disappointment etched onto the boy's youthful face was abysmally heartbreaking, to the point Melina almost felt bad for him, but that frown soon turned into a thoughtful expression, as if he was processing a plan within his brain."Well, yeah. Normally, a girl shouldn't be able to lactate." Matthew admitted as he resumed enjoying the feeling of Melina's bountiful breasts bouncing in his hands, "But you don't know magic as much as I do. In one of my books, one on advanced potion brewing, there's a recipe for a lactation potion on page 45. I vividly remember reading about it, utterly fascinated by the idea of milk brought about by the power of magic.""Does this potion's effects have an antidote of some sort?" The admittedly magic-unversed princess asked him, "I mean, it sounds nice and all, but in case someone doesn't like it or want it anymore, surely there's a way to remove it somehow?""Well, I'm pretty sure the anti-lactation potion's recipe was located on the pages immediately after." The well-versed magic-inclined prince replied, "Heh, that reminds me of an old sorcerers' adage that the warnings always come after the spells.""Alright, I'm in." The ponytailed woman affirmed as Matthew continued playing with her tits, curious about how it would feel to lactate. "When will you be able to brew the lactation potion?""Well, tomorrow we're stopping by a nearby town. The ingredients are abundant enough that any alchemist worth their salt would have a surplus supply of any and most probably all of them." The scholarly mage answered, then added some supplementary information that Melina might be interested in. "I can customize the recipe for a permanent effect. I can also modify the recipe for different temperatures, textures, compositions, and even flavors. I would personally like it to be cold, since milk tastes even better when it's cold. I'll leave the rest of the options up to you.""I'll brew the potion tomorrow after finalizing the recipe and gathering and buying the ingredients." He excitedly explained, "If you end up not liking it or deciding to back out, I can buy ingredients for the antidote the day after tomorrow and brew it on that very same day. That way, in case you do end up liking it, no ingredients would go to waste.""Sounds good to me, you sweetly smart boy." Melina cooed affectionately, impressed by Matthew's planning skills. To show her appreciation, she leaned down and kissed him, their soft lips meeting as her ample breasts continued to press against his body. "Alright, run me down on the options for customizing my milk.""Thanks a lot, Melina. I love you!" The boy told her happily. The woman enjoyed his cheerful excitement at what was to come, and she returned his statement. "I love you too, dear."The two of them spent the rest of their night discussing the different options they had at their disposal for customizing the potion's effect. Matthew took note of which ingredients to add and how much he would need, writing them down in a list with his right hand as his left continued kneading her silky-smooth soft breasts. After finalizing the list, Melina put her top back on, and they gave each other a goodnight kiss on the lips before they both went to sleep.The next morning, their small army had reached the next town, just as planned. They had to subdue some pirates, but otherwise things went off without any major problems. If anything, the local villagers were quite thankful that the empire's forces were doing their duty of protecting civilians.While the villagers were all wise enough to board up and close off their houses during the pirate attack, they had dismantled their cheap yet effective fortifications and were now welcoming their visitors with open arms, with the local shops even offering discounts to them.This made it a lot more convenient for Matthew to secure all the ingredients he needed. A jug of milk was to serve as the solvent for the concoction, with the lactation effect catalyzed by a special herb called the Matron's Flower. Some glow dust would be added to amplify the potion's potency to permanence, a couple of pieces of mint to lower the temperature, and a chunk of cheese to apply the physical properties of regular milk.He also bought some extra milk, herbs, and other ingredients such as cacao beans and strawberries, in case they wanted to experiment with temporary flavors, along with a jar of red dust to extend the duration of such effects but not to the point of permanence.With all the ingredients obtained and his thoughts being occupied by unmatched excitement, Matthew began to brew the potion together. He poured the milk into a pot, stirred in the ground-up Matron's Flower and mint, dissolving the cheese into the mixture, and finally finishing it off with the glow dust. After stirring it for a few more minutes just to be sure, he bottled up the resulting potion. The white liquid seemed to be a lot like regular milk, but emanated a faint cool blue glow from behind its containment in the glass potion bottle, which was now ice-cold to the touch.He repeated the process with another serving using nearly the same recipe, albeit with less mint. Melina had convinced him to make an extra copy of the potion for some reason.The boy shook the sealed bottles to ensure the liquids within were thoroughly mixed, then entered the bedroom he was sharing with Melina. His female counterpart smiled warmly when she saw that he was holding the finished potion.Without a word necessary to communicate their desires, Matthew handed her the first potion. She drank it all in one gulp."Maybe we should take off your shirt in anticipation for what'll happen." He suggested, placing the extra potion at their bedside before undressing her and leaving her topless, the woman's creamy globes jiggling from being freed once more.For a brief moment, Melina couldn't feel anything, but soon enough she started moaning from a tingling sensation coming from within her large breasts. Those moans intensified when she started to leak ice-cold milk from her now-erect nipples. Matthew beamed in awe at the sight. The potion was a complete success."It worked!" He announced cheerfully, the sight of her lactating tits fueling his arousal. "Mind if I try it out?"Melina's response was to grab him and pin him to the bed before bringing her leaking teats to his face. "Drink up, cutie. You've earned it."Matthew took one breast in his mouth and tried suckling from her. By sheer instinct alone, milk successfully flowed freely into his waiting maw. It tasted nearly like regular milk, but the unnatural frigidity had combined with their mutual love to produce a feeling and a flavor beyond anything else he had ever tasted.The woman brought one of his hands to her other milky tit and he immediately began playing with it to his heart's content. It felt a lot more fulfilling to squeeze and massage her breasts now that the action produced milk.The boy enjoyed feeling up her lactating breasts, basking in the sweet taste of her cream and the comforting feeling Melina's presence provided. Taking note of how her erect nipples peaked with sheer arousal, he let her milk settle in his mouth and moved to kiss her passionately.Melina melted into the kiss and let her own milk enter her mouth. In exchange, her tongue entered Matthew's mouth and explored it to assert her dominance over him. He didn't mind her intrusion and allowed her to do what she wanted as she ruffled his hair and dove her hand down his pants.They broke free of the kiss, and as Matthew gasped for air, Melina seized the opportunity to remove both their pants. Matthew's length sprang into freedom as Melina's lower lips glistened into view. Both of them had neatly shaven loins, with not a single hair in sight. She also noticed that her male counterpart's cock seemed to be of significant length, but the same could not be said about its thickness."That's quite a nice sword you've got for me." Melina teased, "As a swordswoman, I can identify different types of swords. For this one, long and thin and meant for thrusting, I'd classify your sword as a fine rapier. It's perfect for what I need."As if to prove her point, she started swiftly stroking it with her left hand as she removed Matthew's shirt with her right, causing him to let out a light gasp at both the warmth he felt from her touch and the chill he felt from being left bare. Melina pushed her equally bare body into his, capturing his lips once more as her ample tits continued leaking milk down their bodies. Matthew really enjoyed everything about Melina's lactation, and felt it really bolstered their bonds together.While their kiss continued, Melina released his cock from her grip and lowered her soaked folds on his length, piercing herself on his rapier as they took each other's first time. The sudden new feeling caused her to moan erotically into his mouth, surprising Matthew as she muffled the sound by pushing him deeper into the kiss.Breaking free from kissing once again, they both felt a sense of euphoria at feeling the boy's penis fit perfectly into his female counterpart's vagina."Matthew/Melina... I feel whole." They said at the same time, blissfully and sweetly calling out the other's name as their words and actions synchronized perfectly. Feeling his length within her tight pussy, Melina started to ride Matthew, moving her hips up and down his lap at a steady pace as he tried to match her movement with his own thrusts. The two moved in tandem as she brought the cute prince's lips to her breasts, the boy instinctively latching on to the sexy princess's teats to drink her milk once more.The clash of their loins continued as he suckled the icy cream from her bountiful tits, all while she petted the boy's fluffy silver hair. The woman looked at his youthful lean body, ogling his scrawny frame as she whispered sweetly into his ear. "I love you so much, Matthew. I couldn't have imagined a male version of me would be so cute, adorable, and smart! I really want to shower you with care and affection and dote on you as much as I can."Matthew noted how her athletic body was quite toned; while she had well-defined muscles from years of physical training, her overall figure was quite slender and supple, honed for speed and mobility. It seemed that all her fats went to her mammaries, the size of her wonderful mounds providing him unmatched comfort. The young prince couldn't help but briefly let go of her tits to reply to what she just told him. "I love you so much as well, Melina. I couldn't have imagined a female version of me would be so doting, pretty, and strong! I'd really like to enjoy whatever you'd want to do to me."The young prince resumed his suckling as their lovemaking kept going, only to be interrupted by Melina lifting his face up to meet hers as their lips met yet again, tasting her own milk from his mouth. She let her tongue leave no area untouched as she took in her own taste. The older princess released Matthew's lips from hers and licked her lips. "That tasted good.""Since we're basically the same person, would it make sense for me to say I taste good?" The boy asked, getting a small laugh out of her as she petted him affectionately. "Yeah, that makes sense. It'd also make sense to say I feel good inside of myself right now.""Well, the feeling of myself tightly squeezing my length is also quite nice." Matthew remarked, mewling happily as he felt the warmth of her pussy tightly surround his cock. Melina purred sensually as she gradually sped up, catching him off-guard as her movement up and down his "rapier" hastened, but he was quickly able to catch up to match her speed.Eventually, both of them couldn't take it anymore. Looking at each other with eyes half-lidded from the sheer synchronized ecstasy, they both leaned in for a kiss as a shared orgasm hit them both simultaneously.Melina's hot juices squirted down to his loins as Matthew's cold cum shot into her womb. Thankfully, Matthew had explained earlier that the lactation potion had the side effect of being a contraceptive, but even if she wasn't under its effects, universal contraceptive potions were standard-issue army supplies. And even beyond that, unbeknownst to them, the circumstances of their shared existence made it so their reproductive cells would peacefully mutually annihilate each other.Their shared ejaculation also caused Melina's breasts to spray her milk all over their bodies as the flow of her lactation intensified from their mutual orgasm. They were now both very messy, with milk covering their bodies as a different white liquid had its alkaline nature mixed with an acidic clear liquid down below, evening out the mixture to be just as inert as plain water.The pair basked in the aftermath of their first time together, both feeling like nothing could ever come close to their bond in terms of harmonious unity.They were both wrong.The door gently creaked open as a beautiful woman peeked her head in, her chocolate brown hair tied into a graceful ponytail and her brilliant blue eyes widening at the unbelievable sight."What the fuck?!" Matthew's best friend Emily gasped in shock, processing the scene before her."Emily?" Matthew yelped, surprised by his best friend's sudden appearance. Melina took this interruption as a cue to dismount her hips from the prince's lap. "Uh, what are you doing here?""I heard loud noises coming from your room and wondered what was going on." She explained, entering the room and closing the door behind her. She was dressed in a simple set of sleepwear consisting of a blue shirt and pants not unlike the outfits the pair had just undressed from. "So Matthew... are you in a relationship with Melina? If so... I'm willing to share you, as long as it's with her."As if knowing Melina's opinion on the matter due to their similar way of thinking, Matthew answered for both of them, Melina finding his words just right for what she felt. "I wouldn't exactly say we're romantically involved. We love each other as we would ourselves, since we're basically the same perso- wait... Emily, what do you mean you're willing to share me with her?""I have feelings for you, silly!" She giggled as she inched closer to the bed, bringing a hand to her mouth as she grinned at her best friend's obliviousness. "You can be dense at times, but I don't care because it kinda makes you cute.""I've kinda actually suspected as much, and I've been waiting for you to say that since I feel the same way towards you, Emily." He answered, confessing his feelings to her as she smiled."Aww, thanks for accepting, sweetie!" She cooed as she joined them on the bed, then leaned in to kiss him."I love you, Emily!" The prince said at last, filling the lady's heart with joy as she replied in turn. "I love you too, Matthew.""Would you like to ride him, Emily?" Melina asked, filling her male counterpart's girlfriend with surprise as she blinked at her vulgarity."You mean, do I want to ride his cock?" She asked, the way she said "cock" catalyzing Matthew's aforementioned body part to spring back to life, energized by all the breast milk he had consumed earlier. "Oh my, I like how it looks! Long but thin... it's almost like a spear for me to wield!"Her blue eyes locked onto his length as Emily undressed, letting Matthew observe her ample breasts and shaven folds. The scholarly prince analyzed the contrasts between the two women's bodies. Compared to Melina's pale athletic build, Emily had a light brown complexion and was less toned, having slim limbs with less defined muscle. Despite this, her shapely legs caught his eye, the boy wondering how his head would feel if it rested on her soft lap.Emily's everyday attire also served to accentuate her legs. Since she usually wore a blue skirt of mid-thigh length and boots that went up to her knees, the lower half of her thighs were left bare. Matthew also knew that she wore tight blue shorts under her skirt, although he wasn't sure if she wore panties underneath. In contrast, Melina's daily attire included a long slitted violet skirt with matching leggings underneath, yet he knew she never wore panties.Whatever the case was, it didn't really matter at the moment because all of them were equally nude. Returning to his analysis of Emily's figure, he was immediately drawn in by her breasts. The light brown mounds were of a good size, slightly smaller than Melina's but no less wonderful. At the center of Emily's tits were dark brown areolae, topped by nipples of the same color. Matthew realized they were slightly shorter than his female counterpart's pink nipples, which were currently protruding from the princess's tits, still dripping milk.He brought his hands to his girlfriend's breasts and started to play with them, noting how they felt firmer compared to Melina's softer bust. Overall, he concluded that while Melina was better described as sexy, Emily was better described as beautiful. Emily moaned seductively at his touch and held his cock with her dominant right hand as she slid her left down to her untouched lower lips. She slathered her juices on her fingers and brought them to the adorable prince's mouth. "I can't lactate like Melina can, but I hope you like my own unique taste."Matthew let the taste of her juices settle into his mouth before replying. "It's sweet, I'll give it that. I can taste a hint of saltiness, but I think the best part is that it represents how you love me."Enily couldn't help but gush at her boyfriend's own sweetness and started to pepper him with kisses, making Matthew feel how much she loved him as she got into position and lowered her loins onto his already-used cock."Ah!" She cried out as she sheathed his length inside of her. While it wasn't as perfect a fit as it was when he was inside Melina, Matthew still enjoyed the unique experience because of the love he wanted to give Emily, doing his best to bring pleasure to the love of his life.As she continued riding him, her brown ponytail bouncing in the air as he played with her ample bust, Matthew found his attention divided as Melina let his head rest in her lap, which made him release Emily's tits as the princess brought a leaking tit to his lips and let him drink from her once more. "Isn't he a cutie, Emily? I really like doting on him, it feels really fulfilling.""I agree, he's so adorable!" Emily affirmed as she leaned forward to hover over the boy, her wonderful breasts captivating his thoughts. "Try touching my breasts while drinking from hers at the same time, sweetie."Matthew continued to knead Emily's breasts as he drank Melina's milk, the oldest of the trio letting her right hand settle on his soft silver hair. She felt the boy continue suckling at her teat, enjoying the intimate feeling of breastfeeding him. Cold milk kept flowing into the boy's mouth, all while Emily rode his length at a gentle pace. Her sweet moans rang out as she kept her gaze focused on him, even though he was currently being smothered by Melina's massive milky mammaries.She turned her attention upwards and took in Melina's features up close, noting her pretty face framed by her messy silver hair, silver eyes behind purple glasses that held mature confidence instead of Matthew's youthful curiosity, and her ample breasts, softer yet larger than her own, with prominently raised pink nipples leaking sweet milk for her young lover to drink.Emily couldn't deny she found Melina just as attractive as Matthew was, but she didn't feel they were as emotionally connected to each other as they were to him. Despite that, the gears started turning in her head, figuring out a way to let Melina join their closer union.The brunette grabbed Melina's left hand and brought it to where her loins met with Matthew's, nudging her to start moving. "Melina, could you rub my clit? Not that riding him isn't satisfying enough, but I want you to know we're all on equal footing here.""It would be my pleasure, Emily." Melina smirked, and her fingers began working their magic on the other woman's aroused nub, teasing it with fleeting touches as she moved between Emily's clit and Matthew's slick shaft.Despite having his vision obstructed by his counterpart's buxom breasts, Matthew could still hear their words, his heart filling with joy as he heard the two most important women in his life getting along seamlessly, deciding to let them have their moment as Melina's frigid milk still flowed into his thirsty mouth.Melina moaned from feeling her tits relentlessly getting drained, basking in the intimate feeling of their love as she noticed Emily inquisitively staring at her. "Wanna know what it feels like, Emily?""Huh?" The other woman gasped, her blue eyes widening as she brought a hand to her mouth in surprise."Are you curious as to what lactating feels like?" Melina repeated as sensual sighs escaped her soft lips, "When Matthew confessed his desire to see me lactate and drink milk from my breasts, I found the idea enticing, especially since it's yet another way I could be intimate with him. What do you think? Do you feel the same?""Well, lactation isn't really my thing..." Emily admitted, trying to focus on Melina's sexy bust more than the milk leaking from her tips as her free hand joined Melina's in patting Matthew's head. "But it seems that both of you really enjoy it, and that it makes you both feel even more intimate. I understand the benefits of such an arrangement and... I'd like to try it as well.""Great! Here you go, then." Melina smiled warmly, taking the spare potion from earlier off their bedside table and handing it to Emily. "If you don't like it, Matthew can just brew the antidote tomorrow.""I'll take your word for it!" Emily said, feeling courage course through her body as she drank the potion. Matthew had picked up on their conversation and had become even more aroused, thrusting up into her folds as the hand at Emily's breasts went down to her clit, meeting Melina's hand in the process.Emily let go of the empty potion bottle and brought her hand down to her clit, feeling her own arousal build up higher and higher as she felt a tingling sensation in her breasts.The three of them held hands as Emily cried out in a record high of an ecstatic climax.From there, a chain reaction occurred: Matthew felt Emily's warm juices squirt down his length, causing him to orgasm with her as his body rose from its position in Melina's lap. The boy's lips immediately landed on Emily's waiting teats, the dark brown nipples now much more aroused and ready to be suckled. Milk suddenly started to flow from her tips, bursting forth in thick icy streams of creamy white; a significant contrast to her smooth light brown skin.As Matthew started to drink the milk from Emily's breasts, he noted it didn't flow as readily as Melina's cream. His cute silver eyes looked up pleadingly at her brilliant blue ones, wordlessly communicating the concern that she herself wasn't enjoying it.Instead, Emily gave him a soft pat on the head, ruffling his fluffy hair a bit as she quelled his fears. "Don't worry, sweetie. I'm enjoying myself. Being able to express my love for you in this way is more than enough to make me happy."The now-lactating woman hugged him as he removed himself from her nipples, cupping the boy's chin as she leaned down to kiss him passionately, uncaring that her ample breasts continued to leak sweet milk between their bodies. "I love you so much, Matthew.""I love you so much too, Emily." Matthew smiled as they broke free of the kiss. He looked over his shoulder and found Melina joining their hug as well, giving her a loving kiss, her buxom tits pressing into his back as icy cream kept flowing between their bodies. "I love you so much as well, Melina.""I love you so much too, Matthew." Melina smiled, before looking at Emily in an exchange of mutual understanding. "And you, Emily, I love you as well.""I love you too, Melina." Emily finished, the three of them all happy that things all turned out for the better in the end.
