wouldn't change how it ended

REMI

'You would think that being neighbours it would be easier.' He says, nodding against her and not needing to explain the sad reasons why that wasn't true. Remi would be perfectly content to simply stand with Isla in his arms, swaying her slightly in his grip and not saying anything at all, but for all the ways in which the Lullaby and Remedy were similar, Remi's romantic streak and sentimentality was not something they necessarily shared. Isla was far too practical for that, which was one of the reasons he loved her so much.

"No, I haven't." He replies, gazing down at her. In the back of his mind he realized he didn't remember what it felt like to kiss her and was temporarily distracted by wondering if that was a good or bad thing. "I had heard about it. A staircase that led nowhere. It seemed like an easy enough landmark to pick out." Remi adds with a soft shrug, letting Isla go and nodding his head at the stairs to suggest they sit. "Have you?"

honest feelings and bad timing
make the most painful combination.
