Author’s Note: For rachel_wilder on the occasion of her birthday.

( She doesn’t think about how much she missed Jason when he left her; when they ended things. Because then, when she goes away to Vanderbilt, she might have to admit that maybe Tim isn’t the person she’ll miss the most. )

(I have to admit, even knowing this was about to hit my flist I was still surprised)

Amazing as usual. And so good that Lyla goes full circle in her affair. It's just so perfect.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

also, where'd you get the icon from and can I have it?

I'll echo the thing about Lyla coming full circle, but I think Tim would understand.

Jason's left a stain on his heart, too.

This is why I need a beta on my ideas! Rachel usually does that :)

Hmmm...do you think anyone would mind if I changed it???

It is perfect. Absolutely perfect. I'm so sorry it took so long to read, but it's the most amazing capper to a long day.

And I agree with K.

When Tim calls, his voice sounds tired and sad, like he's reaching out for something familiar. She knows all too well how desperate that feeling can be.

Inevitably he asks the question she prayed he wouldn’t, "How’s Jay?", and Lyla can’t speak. The only sound is her tears dripping onto the receiver.

"It’s okay," Tim’s voice soothes her. "The tie that binds, right?"

And that’s when Lyla knows they are going to be okay. It’s not perfect, but they can’t deny what brought them together in the first place. They’re different creatures, never destined to be together, but there is one thing that both Lyla and Tim have in common.

Jason Street has left an indelible stain upon their hearts.
