I can’t change the fact that we are at opposite ends of the road here. There is no meeting in the middle for us, no matter how badly I want there to be. I love her, so much so that it makes it hard to breathe every second that I spend away from her. But despite what that stupid quote says, love does not conquer all. And this is one battle that we will never win, one hill that we will never climb together.

“What are you doing today?” She tips her chin up, her eyes meeting mine. “Running. And then shopping with Dani. You know, I used to think that I shopped too much. And then I met your sister.” I groan. “We don’t have room for anything else.” Her smile grows wider, and with a wink she tells me, “Then let’s buy a house.”

Bronnson may love me, and I may love him, but there were times in life that love was not enough. It didn’t matter that I felt our connection in my soul. It didn’t matter how badly I wanted to be with him. Sometimes, people were just not meant to be. And this was one of those times. And we were one of those star-crossed couples. A modern-day Romeo and Juliet.

We stand in the stairwell shooting insults like arrows. I shrug. “Well, it’s no wonder you liked me so f-ing much, since you came from the epitome of scum.” Her lips quiver, but not a single tear falls as she stands in front of me while we trade jabs. “Turns out you were right all along. We aren’t so different after all. We both have losers for parents.”

“Hey, don’t worry about it. I’m sure she’ll call you soon.” “Yeah,” I murmur. “I’m sure she will.” I grab the forgotten bottle of tequila and take a swig, not even bothering with the glass. I have no idea what is going on with Grace, but the rock that’s formed in the pit of my stomach tells me that whatever it is, it’s not good.

Why do people keep letters that reveal secrets? If you truly want to hide something, why do you keep the evidence???

I should be ashamed of myself, of the way I’ve been living. Self-loathing had become an intricate part of my personality, but since meeting Grace it had taken a back seat and I’d been happy to see it go. But after meeting her grandmother today, and having everything I’d ever been told about myself confirmed in the matter of minutes, it was back in full force.

Here I was, pining over a woman, worrying that something had happened to her, or worse, that she had finally decided to cut her losses and move on, like the smart woman I knew she was. In the matter of mere weeks, I’d gone from the consummate bachelor, destined to be married to my work, to being so wrapped up in a woman that it was a wonder that I could breathe without her.

There’s sadness and loss everywhere, no matter how much money you have. And that common thread binds us together, whether Bronn realizes it or not. From nowhere, my desire to kiss this broken man overwhelms me. My stomach somersaulting, I take a step forward and cross the small distance between us.

The dreamy look in her eyes and the softness of her face as she talks about the sea makes me want to get swept away by her. She’s beautiful, a fact that I’d noticed the moment I laid eyes on her. But, the fact that she can simultaneously make my heart pound and give me shit makes her the most attractive woman I’ve ever encountered.

As she carried me to the police car, I screamed, my voice nothing more than a whisper, hoping that something would give. Praying that I would wake up from this nightmare. Wishing that my daddy would jump up and shout “gotcha.” But he didn’t. And he never would.
