Summary
Set between the last chapter and epilogue, Olive and Adam's love story continues. With Olive receiving a lab spot at Berkeley, she's working hard to get there and make her mark in the Biology world. Adam of course is supportive and is the best he could be for her. But as Olive dives deeper into her research setting things in motion for a clinical trial, she'll realize she's not that far removed from her home and will need to look back and look into those hard memories she tries hard to not remember daily. Adam is right there with her, slowly chipping away at the walls she built around those memories. Letting Olive know that she's allowed to fall, she's allowed to revisit those places, literally and figuratively and he'd be there the catch her. Regardless of where the roads they take lead them.

He hesitated before continuing but decided to go ahead, “And for what it’s worth. I know you don’t talk about her often but… I know your mother would be very proud of you Olive."
