    Summary

    Emily made me promise. On her last day, her last hour, her last breath that smelled like morphine and goodbye. She made me promise to live, to love, to let someone else in. She didn't tell me that promise would become a weapon. That every morning I wake up and choose to continue, I'm stabbing her memory. That every time I let Miranda inside me, I'm proving Emily right, which means she knew. She knew she was leaving. She knew I would survive, which is the worst thing you can know about someone you love. She gave me to Miranda like a gift. Like a problem she solved before dying. I keep the promise because I have to. I hate the promise because I do.
