Chapter 30

“He always did love you. You know that, right? From the very first time he met you, Just wanted you, Benry. He told me that numerous times. His infatuation for you was unlimited. His desire for you was unbelievably strong. You and I could be in the same room and Just found a way of staring at you instead of me. I never held it against him, though. I simply traveled and found other men to amuse me with. I couldn’t make him love me because I knew that he loved you. You can’t help who you fall in love with, which I’m sure you already know.”

“He loves me?” I questioned, stunned, at a loss for words. My torso warmed and some of my guilt instantly washed away because of his confession. No longer did I feel like such a fool and betrayer. Just loved me, and I was too blind to see it before the wedding gig we attended together.
