“You don’t get to show up here after all the ways you failed her and act like you deserve any place in her life,” Jaxon tells him, the quiet words firm and final. “You had one job in your relationship, and it was to love her. You failed. You failed to respect her, to listen to her, to root for her. You failed to be her friend, and you failed to be her partner. Day after day, you fucking failed her. And you don’t get to show up here now and pretend like you deserve even the consideration of a second chance.”
