The Cuddle Clause

by Roxie Ray

“It’s not just that he dumped me… it’s that I don’t even know who I am without trying to be who he wanted.”

If I had to fake-date someone, at least it was someone with excellent arms and a body that looked like it could bench-press my trauma.

“I don’t hate him. I hate watching you make yourself smaller for someone who doesn’t deserve the space you gave him.”
