    Then he said, in the same tone he used for the most ordinary questions, as though he were asking the time or whether the porch light had been left on.

    “Isabel, how would you live alone? What would you do without me?”

    Summary

    Summary

    after a breathless love confession on a speeding train, belly and conrad tumble into Brussels with nothing but stolen moments and wild hope. Paris waits, med school calls, and an ocean stretches between what they feel and the lives they’ve built.

    flashbacks and flashforwards trace their grief and laughter, old wounds and new promises. reality isn’t a fairytale, long distance is hard, love is harder.

    but the tide, the stars, and the way his voice wraps around "isabel" in the dark always lead them back to each other.

    my version of what happens next: the awkward logistics, the hard conversations, the star-drenched nights that get freaky, and the quiet mornings that feel like forever.

    Summary

    “I saw you through the window and had to come talk to you,” he says easily, one corner of his mouth quirking, like that entire sentence doesn’t send her thoughts screeching to a halt.

    She grins, slow and steady, the weight of his words settling between them. Somehow, against all odds, Belly wasn’t the one to fold in five seconds. She opens her mouth to tell him that, to gloat, to ask him to take her home and devour her.

    He beats her to it.

    “Is what I would say if we weren’t meeting for the first time right now.”

    (For their weekly date night, Belly and Conrad pretend to be strangers.)

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin is sitting in the passenger seat of a beat-up truck that smells of burnt leather, a remnant of the arson it survived two weeks prior. She’s beat up, too, violet bruises blooming on her knees. At least, she tells herself, glancing toward the boy at the wheel, they match his.

    Conrad Fisher would kill a man for her. In fact, he almost did.

    ***

    (or: Belly Conklin is privileged, and the beach house is hers. Conrad Fisher lives and works on his family's peach orchard. She still loves him, chooses him. His demons, too.)

    Summary

    She wants to hit herself back to reality. She shouldn't be doing this. She knows how it feels to be cheated on—the betrayal, the humiliation, the way it hollows you out from the inside. But Jeremiah started it. So why can't she? Just once, to even the score. But she doesn't want to put Conrad in that position. His father's affair wrecked him. He loathes the very act that tore his family apart, that broke his mother in ways she never healed from. But oh… It's them, isn't it? In a way, it's always been them. And Conrad seems to be thinking the same thing; fate’s a bitch. Is this what it's like? When you and the love of your life can't be together, so you start turning away from your morals, compromising everything you once believed in?

    (or: belly and jeremiah get married, but belly and conrad still love each other. one more thing, they fuck—a lot.)

And of the decision she had made to marry his brother anyway.

    Summary: In the days leading up to her wedding to Jeremiah, Belly crossed every line with Conrad Fisher. She married Jeremiah anyway. Three and a half years later, everything comes undone across the course of one weekend and the year that follows.
