I responded, my voice filled with warmth, "we can be friends. I believe in the beauty of connections, regardless of their form." His eyes sparkled with gratitude and a hint of wistfulness, as if he too appreciated the significance of this new bond we were forging. The weight of our unspoken desires hung in the air, acknowledging the path that would remain untaken. And yet, in this moment, the promise of friendship carried its own allure, beckoning us toward a different kind of intimacy.

I said, my voice filled with pride and admiration. Amelia looked up at me, tears still streaming down her face. "Thank you, Ava. I couldn't have done it without you," she said, her voice choked with emotion. I smiled at my friend, feeling my own eyes growing misty with tears. "I'll always be here for you, Amelia. Through thick and thin, I promise," I said, my heart filled with love and gratitude for the beautiful gift of friendship.

Sitting there, observing the faces of my long-time friends, I felt that, despite everything, our friendship was a constant beacon, proof that, no matter the storms, there was a safe harbor where we could find laughter, understanding, and support. The celebration was not only for our children but also for the resilience of our friendship, which, like fine wine, seemed to improve with time, even in the face of challenges. And there, in that luxurious bar, with delicious drinks and laughter echoing through the years, there was a silent promise that, together, we would face anything the future held for us.

There were memories to be relived, and new laughter to be shared. "You know," I began, a smile tugging at my lips, "it's funny how life throws curveballs. We had our disagreements, went our separate ways, yet here we are. Maybe that's the magic of true friendship – it weathers the storms and always finds its way back." Ayo nodded, a warm smile gracing his lips. "You said it perfectly, Lucy. We've had our fair share of bumps in the road, but that's what makes it real, you know? Like family. We wouldn't trade it for anything.”

She looked like a sweet old granny, if not for the fact that she could be so otherworldly and all that crap. I held my breath as I placed my hands in hers. A strange warmth surged through them as her eyes whitened once again, and her voice boomed through the apartment: “To seek the moon, aim for the heart, A lover’s arrow must not depart. As enemies burn, yet embers remain, Friendship may rise from ashes of pain. A bond so strong, it may shake the land, But fate is yours to shape by hand.” I still closed my eyes and exhaled slowly.

“It’s not exactly like that, Dad. I’ve grown up. I’m a twenty-three-year-old woman. You should come back. This conversation needs to happen face-to-face.” “I can’t. I don’t even want to. The truth is, I don’t know how to live without Alexandre by my side. You took the most important person I’ve ever known away from me. My best friend.” “I didn’t take anyone from you. Alexandre would never abandon you. He’s buried in paperwork right now, he can’t even rest, Dad. While he’s your friend, what are you to him? There’s no reciprocity in that friendship. You talk about being afraid of losing him, but you’re the one throwing him away. What happened between us changes nothing between you two. Unless

I haven't regretted it since then. Nevertheless, I forced a small smile, and admitted honestly, because lying to her felt like breaking something as fragile. “Yes, I do have a real friend,” I said and continued, “a real friend wouldn't leave you because of what you cannot give them and they know you can't. A real friend will help you in times of need, a real friend would be happy when you're happy, and sad when you're sad. A real friend is like your living diary. Who do you think deserves that title?”

“Right there in the forest, my soul lay with you. Miles apart we are, but forever, you are in my soul. Even though your companions are the trees, and the leaves and the animals, your greatest companion will be me because from the depth of my heart, I love you. Right there in the forest, when it looks like you are all alone, I’m sitting right there with you and singing you sweet songs. Right there at the front, I am in your dream and you are in my mine. The forest might be your companion, but that would be only for a while. The forest might be your companion but trust me, my love, you will be mine forever. Right there at the forest, when all hope is lost, you will find your way and come back

His jaw was tight, but he didn’t grab the phone from me. “You were my friend,” I said. “And you were his wife. Friendship died in that bedroom the same day your marriage did.” “If you post that photo, you are not hurting Adrian. You are helping Damien keep me tied to a man who will not sign.” “Maybe I want you tied. Maybe I like watching you scramble and suffer.” My free hand curled into a fist. “What kind of human are you?? What did he promise you this time?” “I don’t think that is your business anymore.”

And in the particular warmth of that ordinary room, something that has been true for fifteen years becomes slightly more true, the way things do when they are tested and hold. We have been here before. Different version. Same essential thing. Showing up. Without being asked. Without requiring anything in return. Which is, when everything else is removed, what fifteen years of friendship looks like. And looks like. And looks like. Still.
