Summary
"Because I remember the way you sounded in that room, Belly," I say, my voice dropping even lower, dangerous even.
I’m close enough now that I can see the pulse thrumming in the hollow of her throat—fast, erratic, terrified. The mask of indifference has completely dissolved, replaced by something jagged and cruel. "I remember the way you looked at me when I was between your legs. Does Jere know about that? Does he know that while he was snoring three feet away, you were screaming into a pillow because of me?"
"Shut up," she whispers.

Summary
She should’ve known better. Should’ve seen the signs. But she had followed, moth to a flame. And her boyfriend — ex-boyfriend?— was sprawled over a girl's lap.
He hadn’t even noticed. Hadn’t heard the footsteps. How could he? If he was too busy being consoled by anyone else but her. Belly stood there. The plate was filled with his favorite things. And felt like a fool when the chick asked:
“It’s that for us?”
Us. Us? Fuck. Her breathing was uneven, and a fresh wave of sadness hit her.
Conrad lifted himself off her, sheepish and rumpled. His eyes were dark, rimmed with red and exhaustion.
Belly hated herself for loving someone who clearly didn’t want her.
or: what if Conrad had followed Belly after their fight at his mother's funereal?

Summary
Belly and Conrad’s collision left a tear in the fabric of time.
For years, the universe tried to stitch it closed — pulling them toward different lives, different loves, different futures.
And for a while, it worked.
Belly chose Jeremiah. Conrad chose California. Jeremiah became the life Belly could live inside. Agnes became the life Conrad could breathe inside.
What they built apart was real, steady, enough. Until distance stopped holding.
Back in Cousins, nothing breaks all at once. A thread loosens. A fracture reopens. Gravity returns.
And once it does, it pulls everything with it.
Because some collisions don’t disappear.
They wait.
