"I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. Id catch myself walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because Id seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then Id realise that you werent there any more, and every time, *every single time*, it was like having the wind knocked out of me"

Lmao

“I’ve been waiting for you a long time, Alina,” he said. “You and I are going to change the world.”
