    Summary

    Dex’s sister once told him that there’s always that one. That one person who you love with all of your heart, but nothing ever comes of it. She was drunk, big blue eyes droopy and sad, staring down at the shiny diamond ring on her left hand.
    “I love Pete, you know, I love him more than I’ve ever loved anyone,” she smiled then, watery, punching Dex on the arm with much less force than usual. “Except for maybe you, but I still get all flustered whenever I see Mark Wright.” She took another sip of wine. “God I was so in love with him in high school. Never said anything though… he was just too… pretty.”

    Looking back, Dex wishes he had paid a little more attention, maybe asked his sister how she moved on from Mark Wright and met the man she would go on to marry and have a brood of beautiful little kids with. He could really, really use the advice. Because Derek Nurse just walked in, holding hands with some guy. And they’ve both got silver bands on their left hands.

    Or: Dex and Nursey finally get their shit together, but it take a few (ten) years and some heartbreak in between
