“So have I.”
Logan slowed the truck to a stop at a red light. He turned his head to look at her, frustrated at how beautiful she looked even when she was pissing him off beyond reason. “You won’t even let me try? Prove I might be the kind of man you need?”
“The problem is with me, Logan. My issues not only make me averse to that level of commitment, but they also make me a shitty partner and that’s not fair. It’s not about proving yourself. You’re perfect just the way you are.”
He wasn’t though. He wasn’t perfect. Deep down she probably knew it too but was trying to cover with this “it’s not you it’s me” bullshit. Why had he thought he might convince her to be the first one to stick around?
The light turned green, and he hit the gas hard, the truck lurching forward.
“I understand,” he said.
Her fingers brushed his bicep, and he stilled. She quickly retracted her hand. “It’s not you I don’t want. Tell me you understand that.”
Logan met her eyes for as long as he could before needing to look at the road again. “I understand.”
“You’re a wonderful man on the inside and are so insanely hot on the outside sometimes it hurts to look at you. Someday you’ll make another woman very happy.”
She was trying to be kind, but her words only served to further his frustration. For the first time in his life, he’d found someone he wanted to open up to. He wasn’t ready to yet, but she already knew more about him than anyone else had, and it felt like he’d gotten closer with her than anyone else. It was just his luck that some motherfucker got to her before he did—before he could treat her like she deserved—and ruined her belief in marriage. Relationships in general, it seemed.
Someday you’ll make another woman very happy.
Doubtful because even though he’d only met her four months ago, everything in him told him he’d never want another woman.
He only wanted her.
