🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5
It was strange, having a secret with the boy I’d once loved and now sharing it with the man I couldn’t stand.
I should be the one sitting across the table from her. I should be the one taking her home, waking up next to her. Reading what she was reading. Yelling at the evil cat. It should be me in her life.
And for the first time in my life, I felt like the hero instead of the villain.
“Loving you has been a touchstone for more than half my life.”
