   Summary

   Grief is a fickle thing. So is love.

   Zeyn knows that.

   But she hasn't let herself talk about it. Tries not to think about it.

   Because how do you grieve someone who was never truly yours? How do you stop loving someone you never learnt to let go of? How do you convince yourself that loving that person wasn't a betrayal, and neither is letting go?

   Or: You know the feeling when the person you're in love with is straight, your brother's girlfriend, AND dead? No? well Zeyn does. It sucks.
