Neverwinter Forest Bullet train to Iowa.

Who was Bronco’s wife again? Oh, right, Teya. Towhee’s ears folded back as she recalled that particular bit of weirdness. She’d lost Reyes first. Wait, was Reyes still alive? She couldn’t remember, which felt a little absurd. She had to swallow the incredulous laugh that bubbled in her throat. She was utterly indifferent to his fate, though she did feel pretty bad for Teya.

You’re right. It’s not really a choice. And if it happens to you, my only advice is to savor every moment. Try not to take it for granted. Because all relationships end in breakup or death. That’s my morbid take, anyway. My other piece of advice is not to worry too much about whether or not it’ll happen for you. There’s so much more to life than getting hitched.
