Nox
I opened the blue dot app on my phone. There she was, right where she'd been when she asked me to leave.
Asked to leave.
Rationally I got it. I did. I understood that the old man's a doctor—her doctor. It's not like Charli and I were married...
Her heart rate was up.
Mine was too.
After Jo, I never thought I'd want to marry again. Fuck, for years I never even dated, but damn my plans all to hell. I wanted to marry Charli. I wanted to be in the room with her right now. I wanted to wake beside her every morning and fall asleep there every night.
The ten days she was with that asshole...that crazy motherfucker...I was beside myself. She's mine and has been since the day I saw her at the pool with that floppy hat and sexy smile. I loved her so much it hurt. I didn't deny it.
I'd told her thousands of times.
Maybe our relationship moved fast, too fast, but that didn't make it wrong. When something was right, it was right.
