  Summary

  “How is she supposed to know that I still love you? How is she supposed to know that every time you tell her you love her, I lose everything all over again?”

  They told you to let Leo go, to pack up months of memories and lock them away. But memories aren’t water; they don’t just slip through a sieve. If he gets to be fine, why are you the only one dying inside?
