but… life. It showed you that not every hand was a good one, and you played what you were dealt.

No need to try and keep playing house when you don’t even come home to it.”

Oof

Her vulnerability had blurred the lines between them, and the temptation to cross it was heavier than ever.

“The man I am isn’t letting you do this alone. You know me better than that.” Frustrated with her feelings, Leerah shook her head. “But I don’t need you to.” “It doesn’t matter what you think I need to do. I am. So, tell me how you would like me to show up for you since what I’m doing isn’t to your satisfaction.”

You know the spaghetti be hitting way more the second day.”

Spaghetti is always better the next day

Having a man speak to God about you on his behalf was a different type of love that made Leerah want to cry.

“Is that your first time praying for me?” Cree shook his head. “No.” His answer was swift, leaving no room for Leerah to think otherwise. But then he added more words, lying to rest whatever wild thoughts were running through her mind, replacing them with what-ifs. “I’ve prayed for you since the day I met you.”

“Don’t ask me why again after today. You deserve everything good in this world, and if that’s me, let me be that for now.”

Grown men take care of what they love. They take care of the home even if it wasn’t theirs to begin with but made it theirs.

“Those loans are called student loans. I am no longer a student, baby. Those belong to God,”

“My idea of you in a committed relationship with me is one where you don’t have to worry about anything I can control.”

“I’m not saying I’m trying to control you. What I’m saying is as your man, I want to see you at your best. That can’t happen if you’re worried about bills and debt that can be handled by me… your man,” he explained.
