A couple of days later I find myself sitting across from Kirk in a quiet restaurant. He has the grace to look apologetic for his transgressions, though I notice that he doesn’t actually say what those transgressions are. He simply apologizes for his role in our break-up. He claims that he’d be faithful to me and me alone.

All I have to do is say yes and agree to give him a chance again. It could be as easy as that. Yet it’s not. Nothing is ever black and white—gray always manages to filter in.

“We could have a family together,” he croons, grabbing my hand from across the table and holding it in his. “Get married, have kids, get a house. Build a life together like we’re supposed to.”

“We already had those plans, Kirk,” I tell him. “Or at least I was under the impression that we did. When you asked me to marry you all those things were implied with that. When you offer marriage, it’s not just the getting married part. It includes building a life together with the person you chose to spend the rest of your life with. Through thick and thin, for better or worse.”

He nods. “I know that, but right now I feel like this is a better or worse part. I messed up, but I want to be with you, Freya. That’s never changed in all the years we’ve been together. It’s always been you and me. I don’t know what to do if you’re not in my life anymore.”

He speaks from the heart and says the words I’ve wanted to hear but they feel false now. The picture Kirk paints is nothing but a broken dream, one that he tainted by his own actions. Kirk is the one who is responsible for the end of us—I hold to this as fact. He was the one running around with whoever he wanted, and he got caught, not me.

I don’t want him back.

We might have only broken up a few weeks ago, but it feels like a lifetime has happened since then. I think of the wonderful time Andreas and I spent together during our little Ibiza get away, all the nights tangled up in each other. We made a lifetime of memories in a short time span, and I didn’t miss Kirk once during that time. Andreas filled whatever void Kirk had left which is really all the answer I need.

Kirk is silent, watching me and waiting for me to open my heart to him, but that won’t be happening.

“Did you really think that coming all the way here would make me say yes?” I ask him.

His smile turns sour. “Not necessarily, but I wanted you to know that I was completely serious in my offer,” he says, trying to keep my attention with his head-on gaze. “We were so good together, Ally.”

“And what made us good together, Kirk? Was it that I looked good on your arm? Or that your parents approved of
