So- and I apologize if this is insensitive- but how are you handling Adam and Ronan?
I know it's not exactly my concern, but this place is enough of a mess without having to deal with suddenly finding out about a breakup, and that your boyfriend is dating someone else.

I just want to make sure you're doing okay, truly.

[He doesn't say it, because he doesn't want to make her think about it, but he knows she doesn't have the people she'd normally talk to. Maura and Persephone and Calla and Orla, her house so full of people and life. She wondered if she felt lonely in the spacious Up apartments.

But it's also an excuse to reach out without talking about missing quota and getting drugged. And he does want people to talk to.]

( and here is the problem with the lie, because as much as she tried to tell herself otherwise, it was never going to just be one. it was never going to just be about keeping the future from gansey, it's all the other little pieces that tie into it that spiral into a thousand little lies, one after the other.

she hates it, almost as much as she hates the fact that this is a situation at all. almost as much as she hates whatever messed up thing brought them to this place from different times at all. but she doesn't know how to walk it back, now. )

It wasn't easy at first, I guess. It's hard when he has a completely different set of memories than I do, but I'm getting used to it. ( that, at least, is absolutely the truth — it's just that she's not talking about adam. ) There are far stranger things to adjust to here than Adam and Ronan, anyway. That actually makes a weird kind of sense.

How much do you know, about what the guys know and you don't?
