Page 132 of Pinch of Love

The man who couldn’t love ended up with a woman who needed love more than anything.

Maybe that was the problem.

I knew I wasn’t easy to love, or maybe it was that I didn’t believe I should be loved.

If my own parents couldn’t find it in their hearts to love me, why would a total stranger fall for me?

I nodded to myself, realizing that was precisely it. After all the schooling, all the therapy, all the helping others, I finally realized I didn’t deserve to be loved.

Or at least that was what I had thought.

Until Cash.

And the thought downright scared me. I never had to give anything to Rob because he didn’t want it. He didn’t want to listen to my problems or hear about my feelings.

Cash did.

Whenever I opened my mouth, Cash dropped everything and acted like what I had to say was the most important thing in the world.

It wasn’t.

But he believed it was.

My heart felt like it was going to burst.

How had I not seen this until now?

I looked for emotionally unavailable, bordering on sociopathic, men who wouldn’t hear me, who wouldn’t do anything but use me to make themselves feel better.

Was that what I did to Cash?

He’d been vulnerable with me, let me see the sad with the happy. And I’d walked away.

My shoulders deflated.

Who was I kidding?

Our relationship felt alarmingly close to something that could last forever, and it had barely begun.

“And I threw it away.”

“Pardon me?” the driver asked.

“Oh, sorry. Just talking to myself.”

Our time together had been beautiful.

So why make it ugly?

“I hate to do this,” I said to the driver, “but can we turn around?”

The woman winked at me in the rearview mirror and nodded. “Absolutely. Where are we headed?”

I glanced down at my phone and drew a deep breath in and gave her the address.

The one thing I hoped for more than anything was that I didn’t screw it up forever.

But if I did, at least I knew why, and I was ready to make a change from within.
