Summary
“I love you, too.”
Her breath stuttered in her chest. Four years. He’d held those words on his lips and in his heart for four years, refusing to tell her goodbye.
She had feared bitterness from him, or anger, or something, anything, that would come between them, because something always came between them, didn’t it?
But in his first words to her, he had cut through every fear, every obstacle. It was as if he’d stepped through space and time and impossible heartbreak to say, I’m still here. I’ve been waiting. I never stopped loving you.
El and Mike try and fail, over the years, to find peace without each other, until El realizes enough is enough: she will find a way to bring Mike back into her life, no matter the cost.
