Our Infinite Fates

by Laura Steven

Like houseplants in straitjackets. Insanity, domesticated.

“I want you to know that wherever we are next, my heart will be with you.” A shuddering sob. “It might not know it’s with you, but hearts have their ways. Every atrium, every ventricle, every vein and artery will beat for you. Even if my mind has lost you. Because you are in the very fabric of me, all right? You are me, and I am you. And our love is stronger than anything.”
