Honestly, I’ve always been Jo-biased, so this isn’t quite my kind of happy ending. But I love Ian far too much to want anything less than what he chose. If TJ is who he wanted, then so be it.

Because deep down, it was always there, wasn’t it? No matter how much Jo meant to him, he was never truly competing—TJ was never just someone Ian could walk away from.

And that’s the part that hurts.

I feel so bad for Jo, I really do. There’s something quietly heartbreaking about being almost enough, about loving someone who was never entirely yours. I think that’s where the disappointment lingers.

But then again...you don’t simply unlove someone you’ve carried through hell and back. Ian and TJ have that kind of love—the kind that survives everything, the kind that finds its way back no matter how far it strays.

Still, it stings...because Jo didn’t seem to mind that hell, as long as it was with Ian!

And maybe that says everything.

But I understand. I truly do.

Because in the end, after everything Ian has been through, after loving TJ so unconditionally... Ian deserves to be happy. Even if it wasn’t the ending I was hoping for....I'm just simply happy Because he is happy!!
