"Yeah. I thought Penny's ex might try to speak during the 'speak now or forever hold your peace' bit that you mentioned."
"Oh. Yikes. But you fixed it?"
"I didn't need to. He already left town. He bowed out more gracefully than I thought he would. I feel bad. I think he really loved her."
"I can't even imagine how that would feel." She looked up at me like she couldn't imagine ever losing me.
And she had nothing to worry about there. I wasn't going anywhere. I tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"But maybe they weren't the perfect fit, you know?" she said. "He'll find his missing piece."
I pulled her into my side. I hoped Tyler would find his missing piece too. But it was hard not to smile when I’d already found mine.
