Adonis
She was basically saying the same thing Leilani said.
About how she kept the news of the wedding from me for as long as fucking possible, because she was scared I would push her away. Just like I have now. She wasn’t being manipulative or greedy… I see it now. Fuck, I felt like real shit.
‘…all you do is hurt everyone who tries to get close to you.’
She’s right. Everyone is fucking right. All I do is fucking hurt people and I nearly did it again to Lily tonight. I walked closer to her, and spoke up, in a low hard tone that masked the horrible shit storm roiling within me. "Were you waiting for me, all these years?"
She lowered her eyes, rubbing her arm nervously. "I just didn’t meet the right person… because thoughts of you continued to live in my mind. And you’re the only man I’ve ever truly wanted to sleep with."
