Chapter 607

  I hate that this is the first real intimacy we have had in two weeks and it’s because he is leaving me. I should be giving him a reason to come back to me, not this.

  “Call me, even if I say not to.” I loop my fingers into the spaces between his shirt button and pull him close, rubbing my face against the cotton, against him and burying myself in how good he still feels. I forgot what it felt like to have him comfort me.

  “Two years we have been together, Sophs. Do you not think I have learned anything about you in that time?” He kisses me on the forehead again and moves to break free, but I am not ready. Emotions rile up like a tidal wave inside of me and I cling to him, so he can’t get up.

  “Don’t go” I sound whiny and young and he has to slide my hands out of his clothes to break free.
