Whether this is truly the end or not, one question refuses to stay quiet: how can two grown adults wake up after twenty years and suddenly decide they belong to each other?

Twenty years changes everything. People change. Lives take shape, break apart, rebuild. Love if it ever existed should have changed too. And yet, after all that time, after countless casual relationships and missed chances, they only arrive at this realization because jo stepped in and pushed them there. It feels less like fate… and more like convenience. Or worse, exaggeration.

And then there’s TJ.

I can’t understand how anyone looks at what he’s done and calls it love. Is that really what love is supposed to be? Someone who quietly builds walls around you, closing in from every direction, making sure you never drift too far… until one day, twenty years later, he finally says, “I love you”?

Does that sound romantic or suffocating?

What makes it even more unsettling is this: he didn’t even say it first. YW did. After everything, after all those years of silent control and unspoken intent, the confession didn’t come from him.

And yet, people defend it. They praise it. They call it devotion.

But let’s be honest would anyone truly want this kind of love in real life? To be watched, guided, cornered into someone else’s orbit for decades, only to have it labeled as destiny in the end?

There’s a contradiction there that’s hard to ignore. People celebrate it in fiction, but reject it in reality.

And if this really is the ending, then there’s only one undeniable truth:

TJ wins.

Because in the end, he gets exactly what he’s always wanted.

    TJ didn’t even say “I love you” tho, only Ian did :-l now some people will argue and say that the bs he spewed in the chapter where Ian got shot instead or TJ was his “declaration of love” but that wasn’t it for me. What Jo said and did (letting him go) to Ian at the gas station, that however was and is true love to me.
