What the hell just happened?

I stare at the open front door for a while before my mind stops racing. How did this night turn into such a clusterfuck? The one minute Chloe is all hot and naked and the next we’re fighting. I was trying to be a nice guy, trying to show her I care about more than just sex with her, and then she accuses me of only wanting her for her body? Why did she explode on me like that? I shake my head, feeling hurt and dumbfounded.

If it was her intention to make me feel guilty and hurt then she succeeded. Am I really betraying Laurie? The thought settles heavy in my gut. I won’t compare Laurie and Chloe, they are way too different. But Chloe may be right, will being with her taint my memories of Laurie?

I brush a hand through my hair and grab a bunch of strands. I shake my head, still stunned.

Was this fight really about me being married to Laurie and Chloe not wanting to taint any of that, or is it all about Chloe not feeling good enough? I’m confused and don’t have a clue where to go from here. I’m a pretty determined person, but there must be a point a person realizes something is not worth it. I might’ve been wrong about Chloe. Maybe I misjudged things because I don’t want to be alone anymore.

A week of mulling over things and I still don’t feel any better. I’ve told myself to stay away from Chloe until everything makes sense to me, and I know for sure she is worth the fight. There is no way I’m going to try and patch things up only for her to throw the gesture back in my face. I’m not in the mood for another fight.

“You’ve been staring at that report for the last hour,” Aiden snaps me out of my deep thoughts. “You okay?”

“I will be. I just have a lot to think about. This thing with Chloe is so damn frustrating.” I shove my chair back. I need to see Laurie. “I’m taking an early lunch. See you later.”

I drive out to the cemetery and walk the well known path to where Laurie is. I wish she could tell me what to do, how to handle this situation best.

“God, I miss you,” I murmur as I stare at the gravestone. “We never had any fights. That was one of the amazing things about you. We fit so perfectly. It was all smooth sailing with you.” I crouch down on one knee and caress the flowers I brought on Sunday. They still look fresh.

I sigh miserably and get up. I start to stalk the length of Laurie’s grave, up and down, the feeling of frustration bearing down on me.

“Tell me what to do! Tell me you want me to move on! Tell me you’ll still love me if I do! Tell me
