Summary
“So, that’s that,” Shelby says. “Consider this me setting boundaries. You know, drawing a line.”
“Right. And is this line, theoretically, a bit flexible?”
“Flexible?”
“Yeah,” Toni says. “Like, could I move the line so I wouldn’t be crossing it if I were to kiss you?”

Summary
It hadn’t always been this way. For nine years, Toni made their marriage feel like something straight out of a movie. She spoiled Shelby. Surprised her all the time with dates and gifts and simple things like doing her laundry for her. They slow danced in the kitchen. They kissed like teenagers behind closed doors. They were so madly in love, even after 14 years together.
But Shelby let one phone call - one phone call with her father who hadn’t spoken to her since she was 17 - ruin all of it.
or
A tragic family accident forces Toni and Shelby to confront their crumbling marriage head-on.
Rated mature for content & triggers.

Summary
You can’t be mad at Shelby for respecting your space and so you get mad at yourself for even thinking you’d be able to escape Shelby at all.
God, it’s such a fucking mess.
“Toni?” she brings you back to the moment.
“Uh yeah— sorry, I’m here.”
“I better get inside.”
“Okay.”
But Shelby hovers like there’s something else on the tip of her tongue begging to come out.
“Toni?” she calls again in the end, “Don’t be a stranger again, please.”

A few years have passed since we left Shelby and Toni in "these cold hands of mine" and now it's time to take them for a last (long) ride.
