“But I love you,” I whimper. “I love you too. I’m not going to stop.” “It feels like you are…” It feels like you already have. “You’re my fucking soulmate, Felix, and I don’t even believe in that shit.” I turn my head, and we lock eyes. “I promise, I’m not stopping,” Jake says, his voice urgent. “I’m supposed to be here with you. I know I am. But I don’t think I’m going to make it if I don’t do this, and I know this is like, so fucking shitty of me to ask you to wait and be with me when I don’t even know when I’m coming back, but I’m asking it, Felix. Okay? I’m asking it.”
