“You have some marks on your neck,” she told me. “Just

an FYI.”

Marks? Like hickeys?

Splendid.

“So have you forgiven him?” she asked.

“Who?”

“Damon.”

I thought for a moment and let out a long sigh. Now that

was a question.

“Yes,” I replied. “No…I don’t know. I’ve been angry for

so long. But I love him.”

“You just don’t know if you can trust him.”

“I don’t know if I should,” I clarified.

Should I entirely?

I wanted to trust him, and there were things I would never

doubt.

I knew he’d always come for me. I knew he loved me. I

knew that however long this lasted, it would probably be the

happiest and most miserable I’d ever been. He made me so

angry, I wanted to punch him.

But then there was nothing like kissing him.

I shouldn’t forgive him. That was the textbook answer.

But I didn’t want to ever be without him, so in reality…

There was never a question of forgiving him.
