Summary
They say there are infinite worlds; this one isn’t much different than the others. Conrad’s still suspiciously good at math, and Belly is just as down bad as ever.
As the lights dim and the CD skips, Belly realizes she doesn't need any other version. Because in every timeline, through every skip in the track, she already has this one.

Summary
“Conrad, if there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you, in every one of them.”
♾️When she was younger, Belly always wondered what it would be like to know the winter Conrad. Or the Conrad who—if he went to her school—wasn’t some football god. Just quiet, moody Conrad, the boy who played guitar alone like he was above all the high school stuff. That Conrad wouldn’t be on the football team. He’d be on the lit mag, and he’d notice someone like her.

Summary
Conrad somehow ends up on the same Christmas Cruise as Belly, when all he wanted to do this Christmas was forget her, even for a little while.
🎄🛳️⚓🎄
“Every year it got worse around Christmas. I couldn’t stop replaying the sound of her laugh in my head. Or remembering the way she used to fit perfectly pressed against me. I wanted to stop thinking about how I’d blown it all to hell with her.
But of course, Belly was here. The one person I couldn’t outrun. The one person I didn’t know how to let go of.Belly. Seven days. How the hell am I supposed to survive seven days of this?"

Summary
This is a parallel of the night Belly and Conrad got back to the beach house from Michael’s in Conrad’s POV. Only in Paris.
I nod as I drop the bags there and turn around, going back to lock the deadbolt on her door. She smiles at me before turning and heading to the window.
I almost blew it. I did blow it. So many times. But it’s not happening again. Not this time.*there will eventually be more to this quick one shot, but I wanted to at least get this out before tomorrow’s episode!

Summary
"I'll scream," Belly lets escape from inside a stifled fit of erupting giggles. This is the best night of her life, and she'll already miss it forever."Yeah right," Conrad replies, laughing a little, incurably charmed by the weird things that seem to delight her. "I think you like it here too much."
It sounds like it tempts him, and it sounds like it scares him.

Summary
"Conrad," Celine will repeat slowly, rolling the name around in her mouth like wine. Testing it. Tasting it. "Tell me about Conrad, Isabel. Did he break your heart?"
"It's more complicated—"
"It would feel good to write your own ending this time, no?"
