I felt that same pull with Hayes. Like he was what had been missing in my life for the longest time. Ever since I’d left this town, it had felt like there’d been this hole that I couldn’t fill, and somehow he’d filled it. But not everything good lasted forever, and I knew that better than anyone. I had job offers in the city that I would have killed for a few months ago. I was having fun with the social media design stuff right now, but that was temporary. Like my marriage was supposed to be. My husband wanted to date me, not spend his life with me. I wanted a family. He didn’t.
