"
I'd be happy wearing my flannel pajama bottoms and holey old tank top all weekend. As much as I
hurt inside, total comfort outside seemed like a necessity. "Don't worry about me. I know I've been
a mess lately, but I'll get it together. Go on and enjoy yourself."
After Cary rushed out, I paused the movie and went to the kitchen for some wine. I stopped
by the breakfast bar, my fingertips gliding over the roses Gideon had sent me the previous weekend.
Petals fell to the countertop like tears. I thought about cutting the stems and using the flower food
packet that came with the bouquet, but it was pointless hanging on to them. I'd throw the
arrangement away tomorrow, the last reminder of my equally doomed relationship.
I'd gotten farther with Gideon in one week than I had with other relationships that lasted two
years. I would always love him for that. Maybe I'd always love him, period.
And one day, that might not hurt so badly.
