“You either have my back....”

“You’re at my side....”

“Be Lilith, Never Eve.”

“You love me,” I point out, the tiniest bit defensive.
He loops an arm around my shoulders and looks down at me, another small, contained smile on his full lips. His face is a sieve, only letting out the smallest amount of expression at a time. “I know that,” he says.
I grin up at him. “I love you back.”
He fights the widening of his smile, keeps it small and faint. “I know that too.”

“Tell me it had nothing to do with me. That Sarah didn't end things because of this—this thing between us. That since I've been out of your life, she hasn't been reconsidering everything. Just tell me that, if that's the truth, Alex. Tell me I'm not the reason you're not married with kids right now, and everything else you wanted."
He stares at me, face terse, eyes dark and cloudy.
"Tell me," I beg, and he just stares at me, the silence of the room adding to the buzz inside my skull.
Finally, he shakes his head. "Of course it's because of you.”
