"Ruby, do you actually think I'm an idiot?" In the city hall's lobby, a few couples who were waiting to get married quietly raised their phones to record the scene.

He knew what I was going through. This was when I started writing my first novel. It was more of writing the memory I shared with him. I kept a journal so it was more like making a summary of it. I created one that I never published. It was about my mom and me. I gave up waiting after I saw a girl almost dying on the beach. She went swimming and she almost drowned. It made me realize that life is too short. I had to follow my dreams and that was exactly what I did. I sold everything I have and moved to New York after I got another offer for a scholarship. I had a fresh start and my last hail Mary in finding Sacha was 'Me and Him.' I was hoping that he would read it and would try to reach ou

"That I'm done positioning things, and being the person in the room who always has a plan for how this ends. I don't have a plan. I have a feeling and I have a history that makes the feeling difficult to trust. And that's all I have." "What's the feeling," I asked. "You know what the feeling is," he said, still keeping that gaze. "Alright, let me say it now, I love you," he said. Jonathan handed me his thought but I didn't know what to do with it. And I felt it, but I didn't want to. I nodded and we finished dinner, then we walked to the car. My phone rang as I got in...it was Clara. "I published early," she said immediately. "It's live. Penelope, it's already on three major outlets. And the
