4. Everything You Ever Wished For
She had been everything he'd ever wished for.
She had not. She had not but she had tried, tried to become all that which he wished for. And she had failed by default, because of his stubbornness and brilliance and drive. For reasons that she had fallen for him. For reasons her sister had won where she had not. And when she had died the everything else that he had wished for became something else. And while she knew she could not have him, she was there helping him to get it.
Because even if it's unrequited, love makes you wish for that other person.
