The phrase ‘better late than never’ is often used and usually rings true. Still, those four words don’t account for the rollercoaster of emotions that completing a task before ‘never’ brings.

She realized that the good thing about a haunted house is that you can always just close your eyes; the ghosts and demons aren’t allowed to touch you, and if you stand real still, you won’t touch them either.
