Okay, now that I've had a few days for all the events of Chapter 23 to sink in, I actually admire Nick for his decision. BUT, I don't understand how well it's going to work out. I mean, sure, they love each other now, and they're going to be friends. Well, that's all short term. What happens when they're older? Are they going to fall out of love (unlikely since both have been through so much crap and still tolerate and love each other after all that)? Or are they just going to deny themselves that love forever? I kind of agree with Evie. I don't think they can do it forever. It seems masochistic on their parts. And when they get married or whatever (okay, I know this is really far into the future for them), but even when they get into relationships, they still love each other. And that doesn't seem fair to not only both of them but for the people for their partners as well.
I know. I just went on a huge rant, but I'm confused as to where this friends thing will go forever. They still have time now, you know. But there will be a time when it's too late for either to claim the other. Once relationships with others evolve, it would be really selfish to finally be like "oh, I'm sorry, but I need you back."
I hope you win because you really deserve them.
