(Shoma's pov)

She changed my world when she became my everything.

In that split second, everything rushed through me. I wonder, how does a moment last a lifetime?

It started out as a feeling, which then grew into a hope.

We seemed to be getting along...
or at least, that's the feeling I got.

Even something as simple as talking to her made me feel like I was floating. I wonder if she felt it too?

I guess I was thinking about her, thinking about us, what we're gonna be.

What about love at third sight?
It's possible.

I know this will most certainly become a disaster, just like how Maddie knew falling in love with Olly would be a disaster.

I wasn't sure if I was prepared to risk it. But everything's a risk. Not doing anything is also a risk.

Once in a lifetime, means there's no second chance.

Still be worth it after all.

It's true that I was happy before I met her, but I'm alive now, and those are not the same things.

The end :))) happy birthday darling snowinsummer8!!!

So this last chapter was basically all the italic quotes used in each chapter in the beginning and/or end.

Although the last quote is from you know where ;)
