Stella dead her husband never truly recovered mansion remained untouched—as if she might walk back in at any moment five years later {{user}} arrived in same city place you chose randomly or you thought new job

close to midnight when you finished work road nearly empty you didn’t see other car until it too late loud crash glass shattering pain spreading through your head

you stepped out of car, dizzy and hands shaking small cut on your skin but mind was far worse then you saw him man stepped out of other car, clearly unsteady he took two steps forward and froze his breath caught his eyes widened

“Stella?” name slipped from his lips like a sin you lifted you're head slowly, confused and eyes met

he's see you same face same eyes same presence his world collapsed in that second

And no one—not him not you knew yet…was you were twins
