Chapter Twenty-Three

Kurt drove us to the cemetery. In the car, I rubbed my hands down my pants as the nerves settled in.

“You doing okay?”

“I think so. Nervous. Have you been back since the funeral?”

He stared ahead, contemplative. “I come every year for our birthdays and do our tradition.”

“Rum and Coke.” Before either of their parties, Kurt and Dylan used to go somewhere and drink a Coke with rum. I never knew what they discussed—it was their time and theirs alone.

“Yep.” Silence descended on us for the next few minutes until Kurt said, “Why didn’t you tell me about Jessica?”

I blew out a breath. “I didn’t want to worry you, especially when you were traveling. I planned to tell you today. I would have last night, but I was exhausted.”

“Fuck, Knoah. This might be because of me. Some crazy fan trying to hurt you. We’re going to need to talk about security.”

“Kurt—”

He held up his hand. “We will talk about it. You’re the only thing I have left of Dylan.”

My throat grew thick, and tears gathered in my eyes. “Do you think it’s bad that I’m trying to move on? Be honest.”

“No, I think it’s wonderful. Dylan would have wanted you to. One night, he basically told me as much.”

This was news to me. “What? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I was afraid you’d think he didn’t love you. Or twist it, somehow.” That was a possibility. Generally, everything hit me full force all at once. Something small could be blown out of proportion, and that sometimes led to misunderstandings. “We were at his bachelor party. He said he’d found the one to love for the rest of his life. You were it for him, but if anything happened to him, he wanted you to be happy. It was an odd statement. I slapped him on the back and ordered another round, ignoring it.”

“Really?” I whispered.

“I swear. I remembered it about six months after he died. By then, things were rough. I was afraid to tell you because you were doing everything you could to hold on to him.”

Kurt parked in the cemetery, and tears fell down my face as I remembered that awful day in Paris as well as the weeks that followed. “Right before he died, he yelled through the streets he loved me. I loved him. So much.” I traced my fingers along the locks on the door handle, ready to confess more to Kurt. “Garrick stirs something deep within me. I’m not saying it’s love, but he’s not a fling. What if I end up loving Garrick?”

Kurt seemed deep in thought for a second. “Then you’re one of the lucky few who will get to experience love not once, but twice. I’m still waiting to feel it. Dylan tried to explain it, but I think you have to experience it to understand.”

One of the lucky few. That was a beautiful way to look at it. I squeezed Kurt’s hand. “You will find your happily ever after one day. I know it.
