I sit down next to her, picking up her legs and dropping them on my lap.
I don’t mind if she spreads her mayhem around me because I think it’s one of the things I missed most about her.
Ivy is already curled up on her side of our bed. Christ. Our bed.
You were always mine, Chaos. Five years doesn’t change the fact that it’s always been me. Nobody else had a chance. So, that’s what I want. You. Not just your body. But you. Your personality. Your mind. Your problems. Your goddamn companionship. Because that’s what I’ve missed since the day I watched you disappear into the night. Stop trying to push me away. It won’t work.”

“Your girl reminds me a lot of the missus when she handed me my ass during our talk, son. Scared me to hell to know there’s a clone of my Liza. All I can say is good luck. It may be you bringing home the big paychecks, but it’s her who’s going to wear the pants in that relationship.”
I’ve never truly stopped loving Aiden Griffith either.
“When you meet the right person, it doesn’t matter what happens because fate will always bring you together.”
