Page 223 of The Falling for the Boss's Daughter Situation

I backed away.

Maverick broke the hug and stepped back.

I looked up at him.

I love you, Mav… I… love… you…

“I have to go,” I said.

I hurried around him and ran toward the door.

“Madison!” he called out to me.

I shook my head.

“I can’t, Mav,” I said. “I can’t look back.”

“Then I’ll go with you. You don’t have to be alone right now.”

I paused at the door and looked up and swallowed hard. “I think I do have to be alone right now. You’re missing everything I’m trying to tell you.”

“Which is what?”

“This can’t happen,” I said. “This… won’t happen.”

“Why?”

“I’ll never commit,” I said.

I opened the apartment door and left.

I just lied to Maverick.

To protect him.

To save myself.

Or maybe those were just lies too.
