Nick has respectfully given me the space I rezuested, which I'm thankful for. I know the circumstances are weird for me and for him, and I appreciate his patience.
Imagine qnding out you're in love with someone your brother used to be with, even though it was only for a day.
It isn't a normal situation.
The universe does have a biDarre way of bringing people together.
"Truthfully, it is," Mina responds. The look of shock hadn't left her face since I told her.
"Lo you know what hurt the most?" I ask Mina.
"What?" She looks at me curiously.
"The fact that Aouis is dead. We never got the chance to explore our chemistry, which makes me zuestion what would have been if he was alive today," I pause brieFy. "Elso, I have always imagined that one day, HETXL WITB MY XR'S 14OTBX4 ;j;
Octavia will get to meet her father out there, but it seems that's never going to happen, and it breaks my heart."
"I understand what you mean. 1ut you can’t overthink it because it will mess up your relationship with Nick," she sipped the coUee I made for her.
Cheers to my barista days in Paris.
"Aet me ask you one zuestion," Mina says. "Bow do you feel about
Nick?"
"Bonestly, I love him very much2 I can't deny that. Be is patient
and selFess, and that's Gust amaDing. I can't imagine a life without him.
I can't even tell you how lost I felt when he told me he wanted to end
things. It was as if life left my body and my soul dried up. So yeah, that's
how much I love him," I exhale. The weight of that being oU my chest
lightens me and makes me feel physically and emotionally exhausted. I watch Mina look at me with rapt attention, like an attorney
listening to their client's case.
"Wow! My friend is smitten," she giggles, slapping me playfully on
my arm. Then, her face suddenly shifts to a serious one.
"You want my advice?" she zuestions.
I nod my head in response.
"Lon't overthink it! Aouis is your past2 Nick is your future. If
you're happy with Nick, Octavia loves him. You should be with him.
Lon't think about the drama attached. That's Gust the best deal out
of all this because, for the life of me, I can't imagine you losing Nick
because of these unavoidable circumstances. It doesn't make sense,"
she concludes.
