So I was right about that painting!

“So, does this oh-so-precious piece have a name?”
“It’s called Magda.”

“We weren’t eighteen anymore, but we were still us. Even if one of us lived on a different continent now, and we didn’t see each other as much as we used to at school, our friendship was a steady rock. It was comforting to know that no matter how much some things changed, others will always stay the same.”

“In case it’s not clear, I fucking love you, Jules Ambrose, even when you drive me crazy. Especially when you drive me crazy.”

“Because you’re it for me. Whether it’s today, tomorrow, a year, or decades from now, that’ll never change.” “I’m human, Red. I’ve made mistakes in the past, and I’ll make many more in the future. But one mistake I’ll never make is letting you go, not when there’s even a sliver of a chance left for us. Because the possibility of you is better than the reality of anyone else.”

“I don’t know what you did to me, Red. But somehow, I went from wanting to kill you…to willing to kill for you.”

“If you’d asked for the painting, I would’ve given it to you.” My voice cracked. “I would’ve given you anything you wanted.”

“Remember when I said I forgive you?” “I lied.”

“I wasn’t a bad person. Sometimes, I made bad decisions, but that didn’t make me a bad person. Right?”

WAIT! The painting!! The freaken painting that Josh just casually has hanging in his bedroom, the painting that Jules thinks is ugly, is that THE PAINTING everyone’s been talking about!? 🫣😳😳😳
