“Tap my side if you need me to stop, okay?”
“Fly for me, sweetheart.”
I’m the villain in her story and while I regret the hurt I'm causing her, I don't regret him.
“Firstly, you’re not a fuck up. A fucking pain, sure, but not a fuck up. Secondly, it wouldn’t hurt you to be vulnerable with him - tell him that you want to see him. Pushing Jamie away is making you miserable, which in turn is making me miserable.”
“I’m going to sound really fucking harsh now but you can take it. Cooper is dead. He’s not coming back. He cannot love Jamie any more and you cannot betray him because he’s not around to be betrayed. Your twin loved you - I didn’t even know him but I am certain of that. Can you honestly tell me, he’d rather you be unhappy than in love and happy with his ex?”
think he’d have wanted us both to be happy.”
Why did it have to be this man? Why did my stupid heart have to trip and land in his hands?
Jamie Durand may never have meant to be mine, but perhaps life isn’t as linear as that - perhaps what wasn’t meant to be can one day be. When he covers us with a duvet and I snuggle into his side, I hope I’m right.
“I’ve really missed you. Thank you for coming home.” Love. Family. Home.

That brother’ was the best person I’ve ever known. He was too good for you. He deserved a mother who loved him, who wanted him. We both did. I cut you out of my life because you’re toxic and I didn’t want to die from your poison.”
“I don’t care what you think about me and Jamie. I no longer care what you think about anything.”
“Come with me. Live with me.”
What if it’s possible to fall in love more than once?
think I’m broken.” I kiss his chest. “Well then we can be broken together.
“Love isn’t a finite, tangible thing that we give away once and then it’s gone. It’s infinite and renewable and available in abundance. And it is scary because we don’t know what’s around the corner, but you can’t let fear hold you back.”
“Thanks Mum, for your advice. I don’t want anyone to ever think I didn’t love Coop - because I did, very much. With Cooper, the feelings were soft and comfortable but with Caiden they’re wild and untamed, and fuck me, I really am a hopeless romantic sometimes aren’t I?”
“It’s a star. You bought me a star.”
“A star called Cooper.”
“Look for me in the stars,”
“Now you know where to look, so you can always find him.”
“Thank you, this is the best gift I could have wished for.” My heart swells, my skin prickles and tears stream down my cheeks, wetting his hoodie. Nothing could ever bring my twin back, but having this little piece of the universe dedicated to him, gives me something incredible - the chance to see him in the place Cooper wanted me to find him.
“I love you. I can’t promise you forever, because we both know that’s not a promise anyone can make. But I can promise you every breath and every beat of my heart.”

“I love you, too. More than I think I could ever express, but I’m going to show you. Every day.”
“I miss you, Coop.” My voice croaks. “I learned how to live without you.” I smile through the painful confession. “I think you would be proud of me. I’m sorry if I hurt you. But I’m not sorry I fell in love with him.”
“You loved him too, so I think you’d understand.”
“He’s perfect and I’m going to love him the way he should be loved. I’ll love him for both of us and I’ll never let him feel alone.”
“I’m saying goodbye now. Goodbye to the future I once dreamed of for us. Goodbye to the love we shared.”
“You’ll always be my brother, my friend, and my first love. I’ll never forget you, Cooper. I hope wherever you are, that you’re at peace and happy.”
need you to know that Cooper was my world.”
“He was all I saw, and I fell hard for him. But Caiden, that was nothing compared to how I feel about you.”
“While he may have once been my world, you are my entire universe. You are the sun, and the moon, and every cosmic space between. You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me, and the greatest love I have ever known.”
“We’ve made mistakes to get to this point and I know we’ll make a thousand more because we’re human, and life is messy and chaotic, and sometimes it downright sucks. But I will never stop fighting for us and for you.”
