“Jude, I love you.” She said it simply, as though hearing those words didn’t completely rearrange every molecule in Jude’s body. “I’ve always loved you. Even when I didn’t like you, I loved you. You’ve been a permanent fixture in my life, someone steady to rely on, even when that reliance came with annoying each other or teasing. Because you let me tease you back. You’ve always been my person, Jude. My annoying, wonderful person. And I think I’m your person too.”
