The sun is minutes away from setting as I’m pulling off the road, so I say a silent plea he’s still here, and I’m not disappointed. Just as there’s none in my mind as to where to find him now. Had he not been the one to hurt me from the start, I would have hurt him in a much different way, because I still would have found Noah. “I know you do.” He releases me, the smile on his lips sad, but encouraging. “I do.” I nod, and when I stand, he stands with me, pulling me in for a hug. I was afraid, and I have no other excuse, but I am ashamed, and I do care about you. I should have waited to see what you decided and been there for you when you needed me to be… if you needed me to be. I could see the way you loved him, and when you suddenly didn’t remember him, I thought maybe that meant you were supposed to be mine all along.

I wish like hell I didn’t hurt you and that things were different for us, but I understand. “Then I would have been the one who hurt you.” My tone is gentle, but honest.Ĭhase nods. It takes him a moment, but he looks to me again. I think he knows it too, which is why his green eyes fall to his clasped hands when he asks, “So uh, if I would have never pushed you away? If I would have fought for you from the beginning?” Chase had to be the one or things would have ended a lot differently. I realize now that it had to happen as it did. Once Chase realized this, fear shook him, drew him out of the corner he placed himself into, but by then, it was too late.īut when I think about our time, there’s no sadness anymore.

Those things came back to me in wild waves, as did their timing.Īfter I took back what I’d given away and offered it to another.Īnd this time, the man I begged to accept it didn’t only love me back. The beauty in the subtle touch, the longing in the stolen glance. Sitting here today, I see what I didn’t then.
