I can’t deny it anymore. I fucking want her. With every past action, though, I don’t think she’ll want anything to do with me. No one has to tell me that the love I used to see shine in her eyes is no longer there. Right now, she only tolerates me for the sake of Noah. “Mr. Woods” I’m snapped out o
Ava. “W-what?” I stammer, looking at Rowan in complete shock. I couldn’t have heard him correctly. The Rowan I knew would have done anything for Emma. Including sacrificing me. My heart beats wildly as I stare at his blank face.“You heard me, Ava” he repeats. No trace of lying in his voice. “If

I decide to do my make up today. I go for the nude look. After that I do my hair, preferring to curl it instead of wearing it straight. Satisfied with how I looked, I take my ballet shoes and put them on. I was just about to leave when my phone rings. I don’t recognize the number, but I pick it up
Rowan. I sit on the bench nervously as I wait for Ava. I know she’s going to be pissed, but I can’t help this intense need to be around her. This intense need to be there for her. She’d refused to tell me the date for her next appointment, so I went ahead and got it myself. I know that makes me a
