“I never stopped wanting you, Brynlee.” Our eyes are locked and I want her to feel how I feel. “Even when I should’ve. Even when I married another woman. Even when I told myself over and over that there was no way I could fall in love with someone in a week, I still loved you. So, while our marriage and all the things you’ve named may seem like enough, it’ll never express how much I care about you.”
“You’re not allowed to say that,” she says with tears in her eyes.
“Why not?”
“Because I can’t let you love me.”

So yeah, I stole you, and now, I plan to try to earn you.”

“I need for us to abide by the fact that this isn’t real.”
“Meaning?”
I sigh, hating that I have to say it, but I need to put it out there. “We had a whirlwind romance. We were those people that fell in love in a week, fell hard, and when you left, it broke me.”
“Brynn--” I raise my hand.
“It broke my heart, Crew. I haven’t dated or been with anyone since you. I’m not saying this to be dramatic or hurt you in any way, I just need you to understand.”
― Corinne Michaels, Forgotten Desires

“I hate lying.” Brynn’s voice aches and I truly hate myself for asking her to do this.
“Is it all a lie?”
Her lashes flutter and she stars are me. “That’s we’re madly in love and can’t live our lives another day without each other? Yeah, I’d say it’s a lie.”
I shake my head. “It’s a stretch, sure, but it’s not a lie.”
