I only want her.
My heart screams no... no... it'll be stupid.
A broken heart all over again.
But, maybe she won't break it. Maybe she'll fuse it together with her own.
Two broken hearts pieced together as one.
Can I see her as my wife? The mother of my children?
Can I deal with her mother and sister for the rest of my life? Will she ever be done with them if they cross a certain line?
Especially when we have kids... they'd have a crazy grandmother.
I groan as I step into the shower. My head throbs as hard as my heart does.
Why is this so hard?
Why can't there be an easy answer?
The warm water runs over my body as I think about what the fuck I should do.
~E~
Knox texted me this morning.
He wants to come over? We do need to talk...
Rushing around the house, I straighten and clean. My house hasn't seen much company lately, and my cleaning skills are lacking.
I shower and dress and when it's almost noon, I call Sarah for a pep talk.
"He's coming over soon, S. I'm not sure I'm ready." I jiggle my leg while I sit on the couch.
"It'll be fine. It's still the same Knox. Just talk, that's all."
"I can't handle another rejection... I..." My doorbell interrupts me. "Shit, he's here. I'll call you later, ok?"
"Ok, hon. I love you and remember to breathe."
"I love you, too." I whisper before I hang up. I stand and smooth down my long shirt that hangs down over my soft leggings.
I open the door and Knox stands there, his shoulders hunched, his mouth in a tight line. Dark bags sit under his eyes, his face shows his exhaustion. He looks like hell.
Just like me.
"Hey." I manage as I step back and open the door for him to enter.
He shuffles past me, a hint of his musky cologne filling my nose. He carries a bag of takeout food, the fried smell mixing in with his heady scent.
