He never understood that I wasn’t scared of someone leaving me. I was scared that the wrong person would stay.
I really relate to this. So often in fiction or in the movies, we see a character subsumed with an unrequited love interest. I like the idea that Hannah wasn’t in that position. Rather, she was always independent—and the grace that allowed her to let Owen in wasn’t about wanting love from just anyone, but rather it was about trusting that Owen was the someone for her.
