Maybe what was crazier was the idea that I would give all of this up in a heartbeat if she didn’t want to stay. That I’d follow her anywhere she wanted to go. I didn’t need to follow in dad’s footsteps someday. What I needed was Ivy. Her laugh. Her smile. Those beautiful blue eyes locked on mine. Losing myself in her, in her body, every night. The future I couldn’t stop dreaming of.
