“I wasn’t sure it was normal or even healthy to be so completely wrapped up in another person— now I know it was neither— but I also couldn’t stop it, not least because it would mean a return to that feeling of before. For good or bad, I was tied, soul bound, to Caspien. It was terrifying and electrifying all at once. I was alive and in love, and the future we could have— that I would convince him we could have— stretched out before me, endless and shimmering.”
