Mmmmm yeah I can see that. I love the stories with them that don’t end up with them together but regardless of where they go, they were important facets in each other’s lives and they’re irrevocably changed. So even if their relationship is unrequited, you can still have those “I don’t know what I’d do without you/I’d be lost without you” moments that end up defining what they are together.

I think it’s something that (like you said) you’ll find as you write it and explore some of those tbd moments.
