YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY, you know that? I promised myself that I wonât make any of this realâthat I wonât even hope that there would ever be something between us, but here I am, digging my grave as I steal a kiss from you. Our second kiss, to be specific. You might not remember it, but we kissed the same night the ship sank.
You threw a fit and told me about your promise to your parents that youâll only kiss the man youâll marry. Oh, how innocent we were back then. I honestly forgot about you years after the incident. But when I saw you rallying to re-open the Marshallâs case, it was as if that dying flame reignited.
Then I saw you with that bastard and found out that youâre carrying his child. Cupid must be laughing at me from whatever messed-up cloud heâs sitting on. I only wanted to âplay houseâ with you until you gain your memoriesâit wasnât my intention to give in to the greedy bastardâs desire for more. I had a mission, but it looks like Iâll be steering this ship that weâre on to our inevitable demise, but⦠at least I have you.
You taught me to love someone other than myselfâto love a child that isnât mine... a child that isnât born yet. I hope I never have to wake up from this dream. I want to dwell in it a little longer. I want to know more about you. I want to know all the things you like and dislike. I want to know what makes you tickâwhat makes your chocolate-brown eyes soften other than the sweet little tidbits I show you. What spell had you cast on me anyway? You must have bewitched me the night we met. Iâm sure of it.
Even as you sit like a child happily enjoying your savory meal, you keep me captivatedâno, enchanted. Maybe it was a bad idea to move back here. Being alone with youâ¦
I donât dare finish that indecent thought and am glad that a distraction came to my rescue. Someone was hollering outside the window, and I stood up to see who it was.
It was one of the farmers I met at the barâJake Friday, I think, is his name. Heâs a muscular lad, and if the crowâs feet at the corners of his eyes were anything to go by, Iâd guess heâs around his late forties or early fifties.
Pushing the drapes back, I noticed that he was not alone. A couple of townspeople were gathered alongside them, and I even recognized some of them.
âWell, howdy there, neighbor.â The denim-clad farmer rocks on his booted heels. âHope we didnât disturb ya.â
âNah,â I reply, leaning against the windowsill. âWhat can I help you with?â
âWe just want to drop some housewarming gifts,â he gestures at the neat pile of randomness to his side. âAnd maybe even help ya get used to the farm life. That is if youâre up for it.â
I glance back at you.
