This was exactly what Taylor had warned me about. She’d told me over and over again that I needed to remain unattached. This was my job. “Don’t go falling in love,” she’d said, only half joking, and I’d laughed it off because that was what I did.
I fell in love. A lot.
If it was because my father had died when I was young or because I’d never felt safe, I couldn’t tell. I didn’t go to therapy like a well-adjusted person, although Ididknow I fell in love easily. Too easily sometimes.
But I liked it.
I liked the butterflies and smiles and flirting. I liked the feeling of coming home to someone waiting for me and not having to ask for a hug. I liked being in a relationship.
And after mymomentin the hallway with Liam Wednesday night, I knew I had to be careful. It would be easy—so easy—to fall in love with him. But I couldn’t.
Not only because he was paying me to take care of his child, but because I had promised myself that this was a new chapter in my life. One where I worked on myself and stayed away from men who were bad for me.
This was my new leaf. I was going to make good choices.
Falling for Liam wasnota good choice.
Louning on my bed, I texted my mom a few emojis since she’d sent me a cute picture of her and Duke then messaged my sister to see if she had talked to Mom about Thanksgiving.
It’ll be fun.
Taylor
If your version of fun is hanging out in the desert.
You’re cold-blooded. I’m sure you’ll like it.
Taylor
You need to stop hanging out with Dean. I don’t like it.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Taylor sent me two middle finger emojis.
Pleeeaaaase. Come on.
Taylor
I don’t know. Dean and I haven’t had the whole holiday conversation yet. I have no idea where we’re spending them.
You’re spending turkey day in Vegas.
OMG THEN YOU CAN ELOPE OMG OMG
Taylor
No.
YOU CAN DO IT IN ONE OF THOSE FAKE GONDOLA THINGS
Taylor
Just what I’ve always wanted. To get married on one of those fake gondola things.
Just a thought.
Taylor
