Nah I can’t imagine being in Lilys place and realising this. It’s like a sla to the face

People make mistakes every day, some small and some big
Do we all just wander through life, fucking up and trying to put ourselves back together only to continue on again?

Rose and Connor were so wrapped up in each other in Kiss the Sky that they completely miss the whole Daisy and Rike situation
