I Just Know.

I wasn't supposed to be here.

At first, I convince myself it's just a bizarre coincidence. Ryland Grace exists. He's real. He's just a teacher... just a man I was never supposed to meet and definitely never supposed to fall for.

Then the world starts to change.

The impossible becomes impossible to ignore, and I realise this isn't just his world.

It's his story.

And I know exactly how it ends.

I know what he's going to be asked to do. I know what it will cost him. I know that one day he'll have to choose between the man he is and the man the world needs him to be.

I can't tell him any of it.

So instead, I stay.

I stand beside him as everything slowly falls apart, offering reassurances I can't explain and hoping that somehow, somehow, knowing him might change what's coming.

Because I know.

I just know.
