"butterflies are indeed attracted to death." once again, a girl being the love interest of two people is cliché, not until it's Lauv.

What happens next when after remembering Victor, Lauv finds out who her real beloved is? What would you do? Who would you choose? ... "Wait you're mad at me because you're the one telling him to leave? It's his choice, he gets to choose, don't humans have free choice or are you playing god's game: lying to him and choosing what's best for him? I just influenced his actions and if I, were in him, whether or not you instructed me to, I'd leave too if someone threatened to kill me!" She lazily raised her hand upwards taking a few steps back, as if she wasn't embarrassing me. "God's game?" I questioned her dismayed by her words. "Right you're leaving?" She asked him with an annoyed look on her face, totally ignoring my question. ...

Jacob's life was supposed to go down a straight path. He had a beautiful fiancee, a well-paying job, a cool house, nice cars. Everything was perfect. But then his ex returned.
