Charlie was the only friend Maddie still had in her life. She had done everything to help the woman get out of her toxic and abusive marriage, including keeping in touch with Evan - Maddie's brother, whom Doug had forbidden her to speak to - so they could keep each other updated on their lives. That's how Evan and Charlie met and became friends. And how they fell in love. But they hadn't admitted these feelings to themselves yet, let alone to anyone else. "I would've read your love letters every single night And prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right And you would've been fine We would have been timeless 'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine We would've been timeless" Timeless - Taylor Swift Fem!OC x Evan "Buck" Buckley Slow Burn Pre 911 - Ongoing Start: 11.05.2024 End: ongoing
