Somewhere inside of the both of us, we still had a spark of hope that she'd live to tell the story of how she defeated cancer.
We both hoped she'd live long enough to fall in love.

I stood in the lobby of the block of flats I call home, waiting for Logan to pick me up.
Yes, it was the day that I left the city for the first time in 3 years, yet Logan was late.
He told me to meet him in lobby at half past seven. It's quarter to eight, and I'm still standing here alone. During those fifteen minutes, I had counted the amount of cigarette buds lying on the floor and checked my mailbox a million times.
I heard a honk and looked up. I saw Logan's car, but Isaac was in the driver's seat. He got out of the car and jogged towards me.
"Where's Logan?" I asked as he took my luggage from me.
"Long story short, Logan had to wait for Faye to bring her family's old combi, so he asked me to pick you up." he said with a smile as he put my stuff in the trunk.
"Oh okay," I said and we got into his car.
"So, any news from your brother about Finley?" he asked as he pulled into the road.
"Uh yeah, they had their check-ups yesterday and the doctor said that everything is okay at the moment." I said.
"That's good," he said, turning the corner.
Logan's apartment could be seen in the distance. I saw Faye and Logan standing by the mint green combi, they were putting luggage in the trunk. Isaac parked Logan's car in the usual parking slot and we both got out.
"Sadie!" Faye screamed, running towards me – as if I hadn't seen her yesterday.
"Faye," I laughed as she tackled me.
I stumbled backwards into Isaac, causing the three of us to tumble over like dominoes.
"Faye..." Isaac grunted from underneath me.
"Oh come on, I'm not that heavy." she teased and got up, helping me up.
I held out my hand for Isaac. He took it and smiled. I helped him up and we finished unloading my luggage.
"I'll go put this is there," Isaac said, pointing to the combi.
"Let me help," I said, grabbing one of my two bags.
"No, it's fine. I'm pretty strong, you know?" he said, flexing a little.
