It had been a month since I told Raina I loved her.
Even now the sentence still replayed in my head sometimes at random moments, usually when things became quiet.
One month.
Thirty days since the words slipped out inside that hospital room while I sat beside her bed thinking I might actually lose her.
A lot had changed since then.
Our relationship had progressed fast after that night. Not rushed exactly. Just... natural. Like we had finally stopped pretending there was still distance between us when there really wasn't anymore.
Raina stayed over at my apartment often now.
My mum adored her.
Nathan had accepted her into the family so aggressively that I was pretty sure he liked her more than me at this point.
And then there was her grandfather.
Katsuro Takahashi was still in Harrington.
That alone felt bizarre to think about sometimes.
