That realization hit me even before we broke apart. When we finally did, slowly and reluctantly, I was already conflicted. Already calculating consequences and questioning myself.

This was her lifeline after all. She had basically just died from the car accident, and she didn’t want to die again. If there was a chance of survival, she might as well cling to it.
