“You marry your best friend, and at family gatherings you deal with your shitty relatives together. You laugh about it and have each other’s backs. Share looks and text each other from across the room when everyone else is being an asshole. And nobody else really matters because you have your own universe.” He held my eyes for a moment. “That’s what I want. I want someone to be my universe.”

This thing didn’t feel like her problem. It felt like our problem, to figure out together. It was as much mine as it was hers.

“I’ll orbit around you and be your universe, because you’ve always been my sun.”
