Every day, I wake up and tell myself, this is the day I’m not going to think about you, that I’m not going to think about what we had, but it’s impossible because every breath I take, every heartbeat in my chest is propelled by the love I felt for you . . .” Her eyes shift up to mine. “The love I still feel for you. You said you will always own me, and you’re right.” She takes a step back. “I hate to admit it, but it’s true. You will forever and always own me, Keller.”
