“The difference between him and me is that he left his family. Mine left me.”
“Please,” I beg. “Ten minutes. That’s all I need.” “Ten minutes?” he asks, and I nod. “See, that’s where we differ. You only need ten minutes with me, but I needed the rest of my life with you.”
“There’s a part of me that still loves you,” I say honestly. “There’s always going to be a part of me that still loves you. But right now, there’s a part of me that wants to hate you, and I’m not sure which is stronger.” She sniffles, wiping away her tears and nodding. “I get that. I do.” I get up from the table and put my fist on it. “Just do me a favor?” “Anything,” she replies, and I know she means that. “Don’t go anywhere until I figure it out.”
“So, that’s her, huh?” she asks. “The girl who made it so you don’t believe in love anymore?”
“I believe in love,” I say simply. “I just don’t believe in it with anyone but her.”
“I don’t hate you, baby,” I whisper. “I just hate that I wasn’t enough.”
“What did that stool ever do to you?” I groan as I sit up, feeling the twinge in my back. “It’s fucking unreliable.” Cam chuckles. “Man, really? I specifically ordered the ones with the loyalty feature on them! Those lying bitches.”
If I have gray hairs, it’s because I married half of this generation’s Thelma and Louise.
“Please, God,” I beg as the tears start to fall. “Please don’t take her from me. Give her back. I just want her back.”
I will spend the rest of my life being incomprehensibly in love with her. And if there’s a life after this one, I’ll go to the ends of the earth to find her again, because her soul and mine are two halves of a whole. There’s no me without her.
