CHAPTER 21
COOPER
I wiped at the tears streaming down my face as I made my way home. Why the fuck did he have to come after me? Why couldnât he have just let me go?
And more importantly, why did I stop walking when he called my name? The answer was obvious. Iâve been waiting for weeks for him to say what I wanted to hear.
Thank God I was only two blocks from my apartment. The fireworks were going off overhead and people were celebrating. But for me, there wasnât anything to celebrate. The new year held a divorce in my future and immeasurable heartbreak.
Sometimes I wished I could forget him. Anything to stop the pain that threatened to send me to my knees every time I thought about him and what we had. I knew better than to get involved with a straight guy, much less fall in love with him. I happily agreed to marry him, and it had been the best eight months of my life.
I needed to have my head examined.
This level of pain was new to me. Iâd never been deeply involved with anyone like this because I thought I knew myself pretty well. I was an incorrigible romantic who loved helping people, and the shy tight end checked all my boxes from the very beginning.
It was probably why I hadnât seen it coming. Falling in love with Greg wasnât like a storm; it had crept up on me one day at a time like the movement of the ocean smoothing a stone.
At times like this, I wished I could talk to Callum. Or maybe Jackson. I knew I could go over to either of their houses. But they had their own lives with their husbands and kids. The life I wanted and thought I could have with Greg.
If tonight had proven anything, it was he would never be ready for us in the real world. And my head was done with the shadows, but I still had to convince my heart. It wanted him.
When I reached my building, I climbed the stairs to my second-floor apartment. Since Christian had married Alex three years ago, Iâd lived alone. It wasnât something I loved, but Greg had filled a lot of the space Christian had left behind.
After closing the door, I took off my jacket and threw it over the kitchen chair. Collapsing onto the sofa, I turned on the TV, trying to drown out my memories of us.
My memories were so vivid that I thought I could smell his cologne. Thatâs when I realized it was all over my sweater. And it made me miss him even more.
God damn it, Iâd have to have it dry-cleaned.
Staring blindly at the television as a few more tears trailed down my face, I wished the pain would go away.
