“You want to be Bluebird?” “I thought I already was.” Damn. Stomach. Flip.
Reid said, “You’re crazy, you know that?” “Batshit bonkers,” I agreed, and then figured I’d pass along some Alice in Wonderland advice. “But all the best people are.”
With him, maybe I wouldn’t be so restless, and maybe with me, he wouldn’t be so frightened.
“Oh, right. You prefer your happy endings to stay in your head, and I don’t mean the one below your belt.”
“How are you real?” Reid’s words were muffled against my chest. “I’d been thinking the same damn thing about you.”
“Ollie? Is it always like this?” My arm tightened around him. “No, Bluebird. No, it’s never like this.”
He smiled. “It reminds me of you. The way you feel. The way you make me feel.” He started the slow melody again from the top. “Safe…treasured…home.”
“When I wake up, I might not be me. I might not know you anymore.” His eyes glassed over. “And I like knowing you.”
“I’ll remember,” he said, his jaw set as his eyes met mine. “I swear I won’t forget you. I won’t forget any of it.” His hand squeezed mine so tight that my circulation was cut off. “I promise I’ll wake up to you.”
I just found you. I’m not losing you, and I won’t forget you, no matter what happens. But if, somehow, the worst-case scenario comes true, I need you to promise me you won’t give up on me. Help me remember. Help me find my way back to you. Love, Your Bluebird
