Chapter FIFTEEN ~ Dante’s Past

I lifted the baggage from me after I finished my memory of my abusive mother. Only this memory was one that’s hard to forget. It’s the only memory I have of her being nice to me and treating me like a mother should.

Well, it’s as close as I’m ever going to get.

Dante now sat right beside me at the picnic table and he’s close enough to touch. His eyes were unreadable, but now readable. His brown hues shimmered with a look of understanding and somehow, I felt he could resonate. Somehow, I felt he just got it, but I don’t understand how he could.

Growing up, the way I did was like grieving something I could never have, but living with her every damn day. I couldn’t get away. I couldn’t escape it until I was old enough to move out on my own. Living out my life and dreams the way I had always thought about as a child. Never thinking it could happen, but when it finally did, I was home.

“I’m so sorry that happened to you, Cassie.” Dante breathed as he reached out and touched my arm. “I had no idea.”

“How could you possibly? We barely knew each other when...” I said, but stopped myself. I catch the words before I even speak them. Not wanting to rehash the past, but it’s already too late.

What the fuck, Cassie?

Dante retracted his hand and stood up. Retreating away from me and leaving me thinking I messed up. I shouldn’t have brought up our intimate encounter. Our night together. Our boiling one-night stand.

Now, I’ve gone and fucked it up.

“I-I’m sorry, Dante, I shouldn’t have brought that up and...” I apologized as my hand ran through my hair and my cheeks flushed.

“No, Cassie, it’s not that at all.” Dante exhaled and placed his hand on the back of his neck. “What we had was incredible and don’t you ever think I regret it.”

I’m bewildered by his words and caught off guard. I blushed even harder, but couldn’t turn away from his stare. My heart beat at a rapid pace, but my breath caught in my chest. Unable to breathe after what he just spoke and unable to believe it.

He thought that what we had was incredible. He never regretted it. But I assumed he didn’t care because he left without notice and just a few words on paper. I thought it was just sex to him and nothing more. But he never forgot it after all these years. He’s thought about it just as much as I have and couldn’t shake it. What we had we both felt, and it’s been with us all this time.

“Well, what is it then?” I asked, with confusion on my face.

“I’m not explaining myself right...” Dante sighed with frustration, took my hands in his and sat back down beside me. “I’m blown away by how much our loss is alike.”

He gazed into my eyes, but his mind went someplace else. Watching them change from dark brown to a shimmering remembrance.
