There he was. I could see him through the glass door. Sitting over two cups of coffee, as if he was waiting on a friend or a date. I could see the steam from the cups rising in front of his face. He looked the same, so very annoyingly handsome. His strawberry-blonde hair, his light brown eyes, his fitted sweater paired with jeans hugging him in all the right places. He looked like he was in college. He was only twenty-seven when I met him last year.

Taking a deep breath in, I looked at my reflection in the door. I had built a new beautiful life here. Roman was perfect for me. “Don’t fuck your life up over this douchebag,” I whispered to myself.

His eyes immediately found mine. He stood, pushing his hands into the pockets of his jeans as if he were years younger. He offered a small smile that had my heart racing through the dress I had changed into. It was so stupid, I knew it. Changing, putting a full face of makeup on, curling my hair… for him. I justified it, knowing I had to head to the homecoming game immediately after this. Whatever this was.

“Piper, wow, you look beautiful.” He pulled a chair out for me. I sunk into it, feeling cold. Looking up, the air conditioning vent was right above me blasting down. “Do you want my jacket, Piper?” he offered.

“No. I don’t, Eli.” I rolled my eyes.

Sitting across from me, he reached his hand and touched mine. Fear raced inside of me as I looked down at my arms. Thank you, God. No chills. He no longer had that effect on me. Roman did; only Roman. Tugging my hand away, I looked at him.

“Thank you so much for agreeing to see me. I’ve missed you so much, Piper.” He smiled again.

“Eli, what the hell are you doing here?” I leaned back in my chair and crossed my arms over my chest protectively.

“Piper, I can’t stop thinking about everything that went down between us. I can’t stop thinking about what I put you through. Ultimately, I can’t stop thinking about you.” He sighed.

I didn’t know what to say. Was this what I needed? An apology I never got? A last goodbye in person from the man I thought was my whole world, but who destroyed it instead?

“Eli, I have nothing to say to you. I’m sorry, this was a terrible mistake.” I began to stand while my voice shook and tears teased my waterline.

“Piper, please… What I made you do… I can’t live with myself. I need to know you’re happy. I left my wife. I left her for you. I want to start over with you. We were so good together, you and me, babe.” His eyes glistened.

I sunk back down. I hated this, I hated how my heart and mind were in a wrestling match. Eli was embedded into my body and soul because of something that connected us for eternity.

“I’m dating someone.
