Love Is Not Enough
I toss my phone over the length of the table, but before it hits the floor, somewhere is there to catch it. As I look up, with eyes that are turmoiling in more tears than they really should, I look into the soft chocolate brown eyes of Maddison.
"Maddison."

"When did you get here?"
"This morning. I would have come to say hello sooner but have been so busy settling into the new place."
"So what? Are you back? Are you staying?"
"Yes, this time I am staying."
Maddison looks at me as she places her hand softly onto my trembling hand that feels far colder than it truly should. Her smile is warm as her eyes meet mine,

But between Mason and Maddison, I have managed to come to a point where I can say that I am moving on, slowly but at a certain pace.It is early morning; it is still dead silent. I have come to the only place where I can breathe and free my mind. My office.

I am not going to lie, but yes, I do miss him, but I won't lie either when I say that I am starting to realize that I should move on with my life.Yes, I am the one that caused all of this. If I did not try and find in Jax, what Hunter and I were lacking, then our relationship would not be where it is now.Jax did make me realize that I cannot hold onto something that is no longer there.

I am pretty sure he is going to make me remember.Jax is lying next to me; he looks so peaceful in his sleep; there is nothing like having a sexy man in your bed.
