Every day she was in my life I was waiting for her to walk out on me. When she did, it solidified what I thought I had known all along. I was nothing but a free ride to her. But that never was the case.
And now…
It’s not about the actual money, but instead, what it all signifies. That I was an asshole, who broke my promise of protecting Evie, even from myself, because I couldn’t see the truth my heart already knew all along.
Evie wasn’t like the other girls. She really cared for me.
But it’s been six years.
A lot has happened. Fuck, Evie could’ve changed. Look at the guys, they’re all settled and happy. I’m the only fucker who’s still stuck in the past.
But she might still be the Evie I knew and fell in love with. If there’s a chance that she still feels something for me, don’t I owe it to us to find out?
The least I can do is apologize to her for being a dick and not trusting her.
“Don’t rush into this,” I whisper.
“Fuck.”
I shake my head at myself.
“You’re totally going to rush into this balls first.”
I grin at myself as I start to think of ways I can worm my way back into Evie’s life.
