You know what I’m talking about.” That question makes my breath pause for a moment, and I huff in amusement. “That I was falling in love with you. I tried so hard to keep you out, but I couldn’t. It was beyond my control.” She bites her lip, but her grin widens anyway. “And you tried to say we aren’t meant to be.” “Biggest regret of my life,” I reply honestly. “You are the only one I’m ever meant to be with.”
