Because I once said they looked lonely.
That was all it took for him.
My eyes burned.
He remembered everything.
Every little thing.
For seven years… he really did love me like that. He gave me everything I ever wanted, even the things I didn’t dare to ask for.
So why… why did it feel like I was dying?
Because now I knew.
That love wasn’t just mine.
He had split it.
Given half to me… and half to the woman who destroyed me.
Felix stepped closer and wiped the tears from my face with his thumb, so gentle it almost hurt more.
“Hey,” he murmured, voice low. “A husband’s supposed to take care of his wife. If you keep crying like this, it’s gonna mess me up. Don’t do that to me.”
I almost laughed.
Husband?
Which one?
Under the stars, he suddenly dropped to one knee. My breath caught as he opened a velvet box, a ring inside catching the light.
“Danica,” he said, looking up at me like I was everything. “Marrying you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you so damn much I can’t even stand being away from you for a second.”
My fingers trembled.
