I’m still a hopeless romantic, despite the fact that love has been unfair to me in the past.
When I stumble upon a leather-bound journal, I know I should walk away.
But instead, I pick her up and turn her pages one by one.
That’s all it took for her to win me over.

HALSTON
I allowed him to take my picture when I went to his apartment.
I certainly don’t belong to him, yet he explores me through his lens.
And that gives me a rush that I never want to end.
My journal is the only place I can be free.
Until Finn finds it.

He struggled to protect my innocence, but I vowed to wait.

But the thing with life is that sometimes it's not fair. Sometimes you can fall for someone who you will never have.

I could still see them even with my eyes closed.

Lake had a glittering gold bracelet while Tiffany had pink cotton candy on her tongue.

I struggled to do the right thing for both sisters.

And everything that I did for them, I did them voluntarily.
