🧁 childhood friends
💙 second generation
🧁 first love, forever love
💙 dash of suspense
📌“I’ve missed you so much, mo chridhe. But I won’t need to miss you anymore.”
📌“You have so much to lose when you have everything.”
📌 “Always only ever you.”
Samantha Young might have wrote a dedication saying, “For my cousin Clare. Love you lots.” But what I read was, “For Jess, who manifested this book.”
[also, my autocorrect changed that to “forget Jess” and I’m considering never speaking to my phone ever again 😒]
When they were kids I thought “wouldn’t that be cute. I hope she does a next generation.” Then they got “older kids” and I said, “oh she must do a second gen with these two.” Next time we saw Callie and Lewis they were teenagers and in love. And I was going crazy, rainbows coming out of my ears while my eyes threw heart-shaped confetti. Until it hit me: it’s going to be second chance, isn’t it?! And poof. I was gone.
Because second chance is my romance love language. Because second chance pulls at my heartstrings. Because second chance is what keeps me up until 1am knowing d*mn well I need to be up at 5am. Because there’s something special about messing up, about life messing up, about losing and feeling it in every bone and then find a way to fix it. There’s something validating and hopeful about being missed and missing. About being tethered to another through distance and time.
And in case you were wondering, that was Northern Twilight to me. They tell you to find North when you’re lost. And I think I did. 🖤
Lewis and Callie were just like I dreamed they would be.
