I lie down and turn the lamp off. I imagine Will here once upon a time, getting tucked in. A part of me is jealous, but I'm glad he had this growing up. Even if I could take this memory, make it my own instead of his, I wouldn’t.
Gulp.
“So how’s school?” He shrugs. “How’s having two girlfriends?”
She shrugs. “I always wanted a little girl to dress up.” “You could probably still have a girl,” I reply. Maybe it’s just good genes, but Dorothy looks young. Too young to have grown sons, actually. She smiles at me. “Shop’s closed. And besides, I have you now, don’t I?”
Olivia’s straight across from me, so pretty that my eyes trip over her, stutter, stall, every time I look up.
Because of all the things in the world I love, that I have a duty toward, she is first. And she is the one I won’t give up.
He’s as scared to lose me as I am to lose him. And gratitude blooms in my chest, because I’m not sure anyone ever felt like this about me until now. For the first time in my life, I feel safe.
