Broken Hearts and Maladies by Marjorie Franklin reviews
Technically, Cloud still lived there and Tifa held onto that fact for dear life. She'd gotten it in her head that if he was sleeping there, then he was still part of their family. Everyone being under one roof meant something—at least that was what she convinced herself. No, things weren't that great but they were together. Tifa just didn't know how much longer that would last.
