While Nate was driving home, he realized how dependent Tori was on him. He wasn’t sure how he felt about that, but knew that it was partly his fault. He was the one that told her he wanted her to have his children, tried to get her pregnant to prove it. He was the one that told her she’d one day be his wife.

Since he’d been seeing her, he’d brought her home flowers practically every day he’d come over there, filled her fridge with groceries, and before leaving every night, asked how she was doing with money.

“I don’t need anything. You pay me enough at work, Mr. Kenny,” Tori said, kissing him on the cheek at the door before he walked out.

But those weren’t the only reasons why Tori seemed to be heavily relying on the success of Nate’s plan. While they were lying on Tori’s sofa the other night, candles lit around them, she confessed something.

“I need to be honest with you,” she said. “When you said you knew that there was no one in my life, you were wrong. There was a man that I’ve been seeing.”

Nate sat up some on the sofa, intrigued. “And…”

“I had been seeing him for the last two years, but he thought there was more to it than I knew there was. He wanted to marry me.”

“And what did you tell him?”

“I never told him anything, because I knew I really didn’t love him, but I didn’t want to be by myself the rest of my life, so I made him wait.”

“Until…”

“Until last week, when you came to me. The very next day, I told him it was over.”

“Are you sure about that?”

“Yes.”

“But it was two years,” Nate said.

“Nate,” Tori said, adjusting herself so she could look into his eyes. “My mother left me when I was a child, and my father died, leaving my grandparents to raise me. After that, I had abandonment issues. After you left, I told myself I’d never trust another man again. But if you tell me that I can, I will.”

“You can,” Nate said. “You can.”
