I should’ve known Autumn would answer this way. Can you call it advice when the person you ask is so obviously biased?
Sadie
Usually, when someone you don’t know loves you, they’re considered a stalker.
Edward Cullen
Your marriage wasn’t one sided. You loved him.
I loved him.
I still can’t reconcile that in my head.
Sadie
Where’s the proof? Even though my mind can’t remember, shouldn’t my heart?
Edward Cullen
There’s proof all around. You just have to be willing to look at it.
My head pushes back into the pillows, and I close my eyes. Autumn is right. I can find proof if I want it.
The pounding in my chest almost convinces me not to, but I decide to switch my phone to a text thread between Nash and me. I scroll, reading each message, trying to picture our life together. The last text was from the day before the accident. Nash asked if he should bring home tacos. The few before that were about our skiing plans and renewing our car insurance. But even with all the day-to-day stuff, it doesn’t take long to get to the proof Autumn talked about.
Sadie
You looked pretty sexy when you left this morning. I’ve been thinking about you all day. Can’t wait for you to get home tonight. (kissy emoji)
Nash
Is that an invitation?
Sadie
Maybe.
Nash
In that case, I’m leaving the conference right now.
And another day.
Nash
Hey, I just wanted to say how beautiful and talented I think you are. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. I love you!
Sadie
Aww, thanks, babe! I love you too. I don’t know where I’d be without you.
Probably married to Stetson.
I scroll up a little more.
Nash
You’re hot.
