Is it possible to be envious of a fictitious couple? We should all be so lucky to have our own Robbie.I absolutely loved the story of Robbie and Zoe - how they met and became the best of friends when they were ten years old; how that friendship grew stronger as time went on; how they stayed the best of friends as time went on, nothing ever coming between them; and granted it came at a time of a major crisis, how they finally admitted, not only to themselves but also each other, how much they were in love with one another and had been for so long.(excerpt)"Some truths were crashing down on him. He'd been an ass, living his life like he had all the time in the world. Their time on this planet was far from infinite, and yet he'd squandered years of it, working on his career, focusing solely on making it big.For what? Fame? Money? Why the hell did he need that shit?He'd always taken it for granted that Zoey would be here for him. How the f*** was he supposed to go on without her? The moment she'd told him about the cancer, the light had gone on.I'm in love with her. Christ, I've been in love with her since the first day I laid eyes on her.Zoey stirred. Rob's heart began to race as her eyes opened slowly. He wasn't wasting a second more. He couldn't. He just couldn't.She was disoriented for a moment before she lifted her gaze and smiled.With his free hand, he stroked her face softly. "Zoey." Her name fell from his lips on a hushed whisper, his chest constricting under the weight of every emotion under the sun - love, fear, happiness, panic, a raging case of nervousness.What if she didn't feel the same way?"Yeah?"He took a deep breath. Fear wasn't going to hold him back another second longer. "I'm going to break my promise.""What promise?"He didn't respond. Instead, he bent his head and kissed her. Time froze as their lips met. Rob was transported back to that day in the park, to the truth that should have been obvious all those years ago. He'd been a blind, inexperienced boy back then, but now...his eyes were wide open.It was her. Zoey. For him, it had always been her."(end excerpt)
