Summary
Celine finally breaks her silence. "You liked them so much because they're the same color as your hair."
"Did we use to have them in the garden?"
"Yes," Celine hums. "I planted them for the same reason."
"I see," Rumi's eyes linger on the picture for a little bit longer before she turns to Celine. "I wish you told me that."
To her surprise, Celine actually relents and says: "Likewise."
OR: The many ways Celine put Rumi first, for better or for worse, and the one time (through Zoey and Mira's love) Rumi doesn't let her.

Bookmark Notes:
Rumi watches as Celine tends to the shrine, to the garden, to her mother’s grave, to the world—
To her.
--
"My dress?"
"For the wedding," Rumi replies.
There's a stretch of silence where Celine's just staring at her—searching and confused. The way her brows knit together breaks Rumi's heart because she realizes—just then—that there are only two things that can break Celine's infallible facade.
Tragedy, like the night of the Idol Awards, in the aftermath of Rumi asking for the utterly impossible.
And, apparently, forgiveness.
She looks at Rumi—at her eyes, at her features, even down to her exposed arms, along the branching patterns that Mira and Zoey have loved with their hands and their hearts and their souls—like she's catching up to the race, wondering if there's time enough for her to learn how to do it herself.
Celine looks anguished. Rumi picks up on the way she's started breathing a little faster.
"I hardly deserve—"
"I don't care," Rumi almost spits it out, her jaw setting as she looks back at Celine. "That doesn't matter."
"But—"
"We want you there," Rumi keeps going. And then her shoulders slacken as her expression goes softer, refusing to look away from Celine after so many years of shying away from her. She feels a tightness in her own chest—like she's about to start having a hard time breathing too. But she pushes forward and whispers: "I want you there."
