As much as I loved Gallan, everything that’d happened in the past few weeks, including the situation I was in, wasn’t worth it. It wasn’tdeserved.
Ididn’t deserve it.
My love for him would never fade, yes, but our paths – they couldn’t stay parallel anymore. I’d reached the brink of my patience and willingness to ignore the negativity. I had no fight left in me. And as much as it broke and wounded me to admit it, I also couldn’t deny that life before Gallan may have been boring, but at least it was safe and carefree. At least it wasn’t restrictive and inundating.
And as I lay on the hard ground and wept my heart out, I realized that the chapter Gallan and I had started all those months ago in his trailer, had now come to an end, leaving behind traces of its once-beautiful echoes and memories.
If only there was another way…
But there never really is one, is there?a voice in my head said.
“No,” I breathed between tears. “No, there isn’t.”
