If Jasper’s best friend didn’t confess before the wedding, would he still have run away? If Liam didn’t meet Milo at the airport, would he still have boarded the plane? Was it destined to go exactly this way, no matter what? Sometimes choice is ripped away from us and we are left to deal with the consequences.<br><br>With so many things out of their control, can Liam and Jasper heal themselves and their relationship?

Heal

Now Jasper’s mind was full of possibilities, of going back to the empty house filled with nothing but a ghost of his love. He imagined kissing cold, pale lips before closing the casket. He thought of living with the hole in his heart for the rest of his life. The pain made him feel out of this world, separated by a thin veil from words and actions.


Liam said nothing as Milo told him about their conversation. He let Jasper cling to him tightly, desperately. Some things were too difficult to forgive but they could be forgotten. Liam forgave and forgot. Jasper realized he needed to forgive himself too.


Until eventually the wound became a scar.
