"No," I said, softly but firmly. "I don't think you've believed a lie. I want you to have that. I want you to open your eyes one morning and realize that you've met that person and it's almost like they were made just for you. And that all this pain can be behind you, buried forever, if you just let go..." They looked at our hands together and then into my eyes. I expected a question to still be there, maybe even annoyance, but all I found was an infinite gentleness. And then I had the most dangerous thought. Can we walk like this? In this majestic place with our fingers and palms wrapped together, can I be allowed to look down and see that? To look down to my side and see Charlie's body connected to mine, fulfilling my most furious desire-to be touched by them. "I've Been Waiting All Along" is a diverse YA-love story featuring a non-binary main character. If you enjoy emotional, intimate love stories, you'll adore this <3
