Kael POV

I’m an idiot. I’m self-aware enough to know that.

But it doesn’t make the way Megan treated me at the diner easier to swallow.

She deserves better than me, but I’m what she’s got. You can’t fight against the acting instinct. It’s uncontrollable, and once that connection is established, it’s nearly impossible to break.

So basically, we’re stuck with each other whether we like it or not.

I like it.

I like her.

But I get the feeling she’s cooling on me. If I don’t get my act together, I will lose her. And after everything else I’ve lost, I’m not sure I can handle that.

The note...
