Summary
People talk about fate like it's something that happens to you. Like the universe is out there making decisions and you're just along for the ride. But Maren knew better. Fate was just a word for the thousand small choices that added up to the moment when you couldn't leave, couldn't walk away, couldn't pretend you didn't see the thing that needed saving. Jack found a dog because he happened to be home. Maren took the dog because she couldn't say no. And by Thursday they were both committed to something neither of them had chosen, which was maybe the most honest thing about love — it never felt like a choice until it was too late.
