The feeling is persistent; right in the middle of Rowan's chest.

He doesn't think this is working out, and after so many years, it makes sense to feel that way.

What does one do when the love of your life isn't the love of your life anymore? How do you tell the very person you promised to spend eternity with that you changed your mind? Just like that.

He can't; not to you. Maybe if he pretends hard enough the feeling will go away.

Rowan still loves you, he does, just not the same way he did.
