“I don’t just want to be her friend, I want so much more. I want to sink inside her tight body, wake up next to her, make her laugh daily. I want it all. Seeing as she’s only recently separated, and obviously still torn up about everything, I’m not gonna push it.

I won’t let my second chance with her slip away like I did ten years ago. No. I’m gonna make her mine no matter what I have to break, including what’s left of her marriage. If that makes me a scumbag, I’ll gladly take that title, too.”
