Status Updates From Unloved (The Undone, #2)

“I know my mom is gone. But she is here, in me. In my softness with Ro. In Archer’s love of me. In Elsie’s vibrant green eyes. I can feel her everywhere, even when I’m not looking for her.”

Ughhh hallelujah NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP actually they didn’t even break up like ugh my unproblematic queens and no misunderstandings?? Miscommunication?? Don’t know her

And she’s a Shariff. Like her mother. Like me, because I’d taken Ro’s last name after we married. My mom wasn’t a Fredderic. The only father figure I truly knew, Archer, wasn’t a Fredderic.
