Chapter Twenty-Five

Ellie

That night in bed, I couldn’t help but think that Connor’s and my biggest downfall was that I’d trusted him so easily, because we were effortless, in sync. Perfect. He could manifest my smile like a magician, increase the tempo of my heart like a seasoned orchestra conductor, and his words—although unspoken—penetrated every layer I possessed. We’d been young, in love, mystified, and we’d begun walking paths we hadn’t properly paved. But, mostly, we’d been blind to the fact that nothing or no one was perfect, no matter how magical or musical it all seemed.

I also came to realise, as I stared at the glow-in-the-dark star stickers peppering the ceiling of my childhood bedroom, that he’d been right even though, for four years, I hadn’t wanted to admit it. I’d been the one to let him go when I left our small town, not the other way around. But I’d done it for him, not for me, and he didn’t know that, didn’t see that, didn’t have to see it because, deep down, beyond the pain of our loss, I knew I’d done the right thing. His relationship with Max was the proof.

It didn’t make it all any less painful though.

The chime of my phone woke me the next morning, and I blindly fumbled for the stupid thing before prying my eyes open to find a message from Connor.

Connor: Rise and Shine. I’ll be there in fifteen.
