Does she still hate me? I hope so. I deserved it. Lord knew I hated myself enough for the both of us. The problem with love was that once it was gone, there was no filing that hole, no substitute for that euphoria.
“You’re like a supernova – an explosion so bright no one can see past you.”
Now he was Casanova…and no longer mine.
She could try to ignore me all she wanted, but somewhere under all that hatred and ice, she was still my Rachel….I just had to find a way to break through to her.
“You win this round. But I’ll win the war.”
“That Rachel – the silly eighteen-year-old you said was your infinity – you killed her.”
“I loved you. I broke myself…You and I are inevitable, no matter who we hurt – even if it’s each other.”
“Rachel, don’t look at me like that.”
“Like what?”
“Like you used to.”
His mouth find mine, and I was home.
“It didn’t mean anything. The kiss.”
“Maybe to you.”
“To you?”
“Everything.”
In seconds she had rebuilt her walls that had taken me months to break down, and once again it was me who sliced her to the quick.
“You’re it. You’ve always been it.”

You're like a supernova—an explosion so bright no one can see past you, I'd told him once after he'd won a competition. But like my love, that name had been twisted into something entirely different. Now he was Casanova… and no longer mine.
"I was putting myself back together piece by jagged, ripped, bleeding piece. So you're going to have to forgive me if I’m not ready to let him tear me apart again just so he can feel better about himself. If he thinks I’m a bitch, I'm okay with it. He doesn't get to argue with what he turned me into."
He slipped inside like he'd never left, his taste and touch overwhelming as he filled the cracks in my soul he'd put there in the first place.And while I loved the beginning and all the feels, I didn't like the shakeup at the end. It felt unnecessary and unrealistic, and to be honest some of it just confused me. Maybe someone who's read it can clear it up for me?
My entire world narrowed to the woman standing in front of me. Even my heartbeat stilled in reverence to the moment. How was she here? After all this time, she was close enough to touch, and all I could do was stare at her, like if I blinked she would disappear.
I was going to win her back. Not just her friendship. Her heart. Her love.
Maybe I wasn’t worth of any of it now, but I could be. I could earn her.
“I’m not going anywhere. If I have to tell you that a million times before you’ll believe me, then I’ll do just that. You and me—we’re own little infinity. Our forever is wrapped up in everything that’s between us.”
“Rachel was my center, my gravity, the perfect balance to me in every way. She was the only woman I would ever love, and I couldn’t picture my life without her now that I finally had her back.”
