Even when we’re fighting, even when I think about all the shitty things from the past, being with her feels like…home.

“Well, I know that technically, these are your best memories, but they’re mine too. Meeting on that roof, listening to music. Getting the opportunity to fall in love with you is my best memory, and all I can do is hope that one day you’ll let me do it again.”

“Are you sure that’s not just a first-love thing?” “No, baby. It’s a last-love thing.”

“Rio.” Her eyes bounce between mine. “You should know. It’s always been you too.”

It’s everything she told me she wanted, and there was a part of me that hoped if both it and I were here waiting for her, she’d somehow find her way home.

“Rio, playing for Boston is your childhood dream.” I shake my head. “You’re my childhood dream.”

“The house has always been yours, Hallie. Ours. It was just waiting for you to come make it a home.”

I feel so incredibly blessed that I get to go through life with these nine people. Besides Indy, we’re all a bunch of transplants from other places who found a home in the windy city…and with each other. I’ll speak for all ten of us when I say, there’s nowhere else we’d rather be.
