Summary
Moments after the final kiss, Belly and Conrad board the train to Paris carrying years of silence between them. With the rest of the world asleep outside their window, they finally find the courage to talk about everything they lost—prom, grief, Jeremiah, the wedding, and the love they spent years trying to bury.
But this isn't a story about looking back It's about deciding what comes next.
Between tears, quiet laughter, intertwined hands, and promises whispered into the dark, they begin imagining a future that stretches across oceans, time zones, and impossible distances. For the first time, they aren't wondering if they'll find their way back to each other.
They're figuring out how to stay.Bookmarked by julchenfrege

Summary
An hour ago, Conrad told Belly he loved her. It went nowhere. Now he's hiding in the back seat of his own car when she climbs behind the wheel and drives off into the storm—without a clue he's there. He doesn't announce himself. He doesn't stop her. He just lies there in the dark, watching the girl he's loved for years come undone—and knowing he's probably why.

Summary
How could he go to Jeremiah to ask for his blessing without telling her? Now, Halloween made so much sense. How giddy he'd been, open and free. Giving her his heart in a bag full of her favorite candy. Conrad had taken it all away, like he always did. And Belly was so tired… so, so tired. Maybe if she could get closer to the water…
It was cold against her feet, but a swig at the tequila made her warm. Maybe she could sleep here? Right there. Someone — Conrad — would find her in the morning, and everything would be alright again. But she couldn't get deeper. Belly felt him before she heard him. The wind and the waves almost make his voice sound like a dream.
"Belly! Come back inside," Oh, she can feel that he had his older brother's voice. "I'm not dragging your dead body out of the ocean if you drowned out there, Isabel."
"Leave me alone, Conrad," It comes out slurred.
"Come out of the water, Belly!"
(what if they revealed more during the beach fight?)
