"This scar's gonna stay with me for the rest of my life. But I don't regret it. Because it taught me one thing—" I paused, making every word land. "Loving yourself is ten thousand times more important than waiting for someone else to love you." The livestream hit five hundred thousand viewers.

I paused, then enunciated, "Loving yourself is a million times more important than waiting for someone else to love you." The viewers in my live stream shot past half a million. Gifts flew in nonstop. In the comments, some people were crying, some were cursing, and some had already started digging into Blake and Keira's past.
