Summary
“This isn’t a joke, Ollie.”
“I’m not joking, love.” Oliver sits next to him on the bed. They’re centimeters apart. Oliver smells like the Sunday roast Molly made. “We are still friends. Everyone makes mistakes, people move on. It’s stupid to hold grudges, after everything. Your family has forgiven you, you forgive them, you move on.”
“They didn’t do anything wrong—
“We lived together for seven years. I remember the tears and the hurt your siblings caused you. They were never really good to you. Your best, which is the best, was never enough. I remember that. You’ve never seen your own worth. That’s why you try so hard to be perfect, but it has to stop. You have to stop trying to be something that’s good enough for everyone because we all fall short. For once, decide who you want to be for yourself. Not for your parents, not for Fred, not for the ministry. For yourself.”
