In any other scenario, we would be cringing at some of their interactions, but when it comes to Eva and Gideon, we just want to accept the dysfunctionality of their relationship for what it is, pat them on the shoulder and cheer them on.
We want them to make it, to overcome their hideous pasts and mend their broken souls. We see all its faults, all its destructive streaks, and yet we can’t help ourselves from wanting to give them their happy ending. It does not take a psychiatrist to see how unhealthy their almost-symbiotic relationship really is. We were putting ourselves through the wringer for those moments of perfection between us, but they were so tenuous that only our stubbornness, determination, and love kept us fighting for them.”īut their story is definitely not a Hallmark movie.
I was never as intoxicated as I was when we were happy together, and I knew it was the same for him. … We were together because we were addicted to each other. I rarely went more than a couple of hours without thinking of him. We both had hang-ups, insecurities, and an addiction to each other that required regular contact to keep us functioning properly. “Most couples didn’t spend every free moment together, but we weren’t like most people. Their insecurities make them explosive with one another, violently addicted to each other and yet endlessly passionate. Trust is their biggest hurdle at this point, giving rise to endless scenes of jealousy and bouts of self-doubt. The intensity of their connection might make it appear like they have been together for a while but the issues before them are those of a new couple. Their love for each other is all-consuming, possessive, raw, almost primal in so many ways – they constantly crave each other’s touch, presence, affection. And, for me, it was definitely worth the wait.Įva and Gideon’s relationship is still relatively in its early stages. It is no understatement when I say that I was literally counting down the hours to its release date, desperately clinging onto the little snippets that the author fed us along the way. I have never so anxiously awaited for a sequel like I have for this one.
