First! I love that Mess is Mine connected with you for this story! It’s one of my most favourite songs and fits so well here!!
Second. This was so beautifully done. You did such a great job at showing that Arylie’s relationship is anchored on trust and communication. The minute they stopped communicating - both of their own valid reasons, his specifically being because he wanted her to focus - issues arose. That’s not who they are. They share/talk about things.
Long distance is hard though and communication has a chance of really breaking down during these relationships. I love that they prioritize their relationships. I love that they talk and are honest with each other. I love that Aryan was open with how much her doubts hurt him.
When he went to his room and realized Imlie was there, them hugging each other because of just how happy they were to be together, the relief - I felt that in my bones. You’re such a great writer. Bravo!! ♥️♥️♥️
As always looking forward to reading more. I would probably write more - gushing about this - but I should really go to sleep. I had fallen asleep on the couch and then was so wide awake by the time I got up to bed that I thought I’d read these before attempting sleep again.
