Not knowing the answer to that question terrified me.
Because I wanted to know him in every lifetime.”

“If you hadn’t loved him, he wouldn’t magically still be here. The world doesn’t work like that, no matter how much you convince yourself it does. I don’t know the reason for all of it.

I lift her head away from my chest, grasping her face and turning her to face me. “Your love is a gift. To him. To me. I hate the reality where he left us, and I wish that he was here, but in every single reality that exists, it was meant to be you and me, Elena.”
