Before I keep taking you forward — before we keep swimming through the trysts and connections and self-abandonments and unlikely heart alliances that are the love stories of my life — I have to take you back.
I have to tell you about my first love story. The first time I loved. Then the first time I lost. How both live as a map in my body still, my heart’s true North bouncing somewhere between the polarities this original love story formed in me.
My sister.
