Jesse cared too deeply for Maddison, but I couldn’t fault him. He’d been there for her multiple times when I couldn’t, and in my heart I knew he was probably a more stable mate for her. If I were a better supe, I’d give her up for Jesse. But I couldn’t do it. Not even for Maddison. I was just too fucking selfish, and I needed her. I craved her. She was mine.
