Chapter 2648 Watershed(Erotic Romance):>Ep2
- My final year of school started - a swiftly-passing blur of swimming galas, provincial trials, exams, stress and frequent fretting about the future. Will and I desynced - any time he was home I'd invariably have something on; our few brief conversations felt stilted and artificial and left me depressed and unsatisfied. He'd always be happy to see me, and I'd always sink into a day or two of crippling melancholy when he was gone.
- Blue Irises arrived on my eighteenth birthday, with a card reading, simply, "Still not eating Lentils," and I'd spent the rest of the day stuck in a slow grey lethargy that I'd only managed to shake by the next morning.
- My parents and his parents had regular dinner dates - his dad joked at one point that they might as well cut a hole in the fence since it would save having to lock the front doors.
