They say good things come to those who wait, but sometimes if you wait just long enough, they get so much worse. It’s been an entire lifetime since he left me, yet somehow it feels like it was just yesterday that I sat huddled in the corner. I rebuilt myself after the damage that had been done, but he wants more. He always wants more. Soon, I will have nothing left to give but myself. Even in death, he was never really gone. This time, the recurrence of inheritance will be my saving grace.

For six years I have watched this man who has the kindest soul, and it is addicting. The fact that I get to work side-by-side with him should feel like a blessing, but it’s torturous to not be able to tell him how I feel. I am scarily comfortable with him, despite everything that happened to me when I was eighteen. Men like him deserve better than a broken and shattered soul to weigh them down, yet here he is by my side.
