Richard:

I’ll be moving out of Jesse’s tonight and staying with Quinn. Sign these and leave them here. I will be back tomorrow to pick them up and file them.

I cried as I drove back to Jesse’s. This time, though, it wasn’t because of the feelings of leaving my husband. This time, it was because I knew I had to leave Jesse.

His truck was in the garage when I pulled into the driveway, and just the sight of that truck still managed to give me the flutters low in my belly. I couldn’t believe I was leaving him and his perfect house. I wanted to live there forever with him, but, sadly, that was just no longer a possibility. All I could hope was that he’d still be available once my break from Richard was finalized.

Maybe this was for the best. I wouldn’t have the constant temptation in front of me if I moved in with Quinn.

But I liked the temptation.

I liked living with Jesse. No; I loved living with Jesse. I loved waking up with him next to me. I loved the way his lips found my forehead every night and the way he carried me to bed after I fell asleep on the world’s most comfortable couch. He took care of me with affection, and as I fought fruitlessly against the onslaught of my tears, I realized that the reason I was so torn apart about leaving him was because I was falling for him.

I wanted to take care of him the same way he took care of me. I wanted to be the one he finally opened up to. I wanted to hold him when he was sad and kiss him when he was happy. I wanted to wake up next to him every morning.

And most of all, I wanted to tell him how I finally realized that I’d been falling for him for five years but was blinded by the wrong relationship all that time, and how now that I had the chance to get close to him, I never wanted to be apart from him again.

But all of that was impossible. And it was fucking Richard who once again stripped me of something I really wanted, or, in this case, of the thing I needed most in my life.

It reminded me of that thought I’d had while my mind was elsewhere in the parent meeting for Jacob’s behavior: I was destined to be with one man, and Fate had put Jesse in front of me first. And then I’d been too blinded by Richard to see that Jesse was the one I was meant to be with all along.

And now I’d once again ruined my shot with Jesse.

I composed myself with a deep breath that only hurt my chest, and then I headed inside. Jesse was sitting on the couch, feet propped up on the coffee table and a book in his hands. My heart literally ached when I saw him.

“Hey, V,” he smiled, setting the book down when he heard me come in.
