“All I know is that I have to trust my gut. And my gut says I belong here, with him. This feeling now? It’s incomparable. Consuming. And it’s all new. Everything between us feels perfect. Perhaps just a little too perfect. As life has taught me, nothing really is. There are ups and downs. There are incredibly bright moments, always balanced by the memory of a loss, the feeling of something being incomplete. Or in this case, the constant knowledge that there’s an elephant in the room that neither of us wants to look at—let alone talk about.”
― Elsie Silver, Wild Card
