I hate Gabby for how she played me. Most of all, I hate that I’m sitting in a hospital room with Lyla, waiting to hear what’s going on with our child, and my mind is full of Gabby and her betrayal.
“I wanted to be with a man where I came first. I guess the joke was on me, wasn’t it? I wasn’t first with you. I wasn’t even the woman you saw when you closed your eyes.”
The heart wants what the heart wants? It’s true. Thomas’s heart wants Gabby and mine… wants him.
I’m not confused about Gabby. I didn’t want her when I met Lyla—not after what happened. Still, that didn’t mean my head wasn’t a fucking mess. Gabby’s mind tricks did a number on me.
It’s funny, the longer I’m with her, the less she reminds me of Gabby at all. If anything, Gabby is a poor copy of Lyla.
Lyla belongs to me, and I won’t let anyone take her from me. She’s the one thing in my life that hasn’t been tainted—she’s my future.
