(Final Chapter of Part 1) Complete

Excerpt:

"Do you ever wonder what your life could have been like if one little thing had happened differently?" Hermione blinked, surprised by the turn in the conversation, but she closed her mouth and listened. "A discussion, maybe? Or a first-time introduction? Perhaps it was something that happened before you were even born, yet because of it - this event, discussion, decision, whatever it may be - your life was firmly set on a specific path, a path that you had no say or control over. And you don't question it, not at first, because why would you? You don't know any better. You were told one thing and you believed it as the absolute truth," he paused, tone quiet and wistful. "When you think about it, it doesn't seem very fair, does it? That your life is pretty much decided for you before you even take your first breath."

I can’t believe part 1 is finally finished! 🥳 It feels great. I’m sorry this chapter took so long, it’s 27,000 words and on top of that I deleted close to 12,000 words 😳 - I was very hard on myself. I wanted it to be absolutely perfect, as always, but more so with it being the final chapter. I really hope you enjoy it, so much happens - big conversations, big revelations, confessions, secrets, sex, heartache, death... it’s got it all 😃. Thank you all so much for coming on this journey with me, I appreciate every single one of you ❤️🤗.
