“What you’ve never understood, Peaches, is that I’ve never had a relationship of any sort with any woman other than you. Everyone I’ve been with has been you. She’d have your hair or your eyes or say something like you.” She narrowed her eyes. “They were a way to pass the time, a means to an end. A way for me to feel you even if you weren’t there with me.” Admitting it out loud jarred the shit out of me but it also made sense.
