.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Dating an older man was never really in my cards. But wow, he was hot. He was the perfect man.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ I wasn't one for big events. I hated the crowds, the money-hungry liars. But if it's for a good cause? I'm always there.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ I don’t care if I look pathetic. I’d be foolish to let the girl of my dreams walk away. My heart belongs to her.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Suit’s perfectly pressed, hair slicked back. I look like a million-dollar man with the most beautiful little doll at my side.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Patience? Yeah, I knew what that word meant. I never thought I’d have the most patient person snap at me, though. || When I asked, “When will you get your license?” I should’ve known that would be a sensitive spot. She’s busy, sure. But everyone can make time for things. So when I asked if she wanted to drive back home and she said yes, I was surprised.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Sue me for wanting to be wanted. In my bones I know it's platonic, but sleeping with your ex is totally iconic.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ We’ll play pretend in my bed, but it’s different now.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Oh, how I loved the ranch. The breeze, the animals—and can’t forget the occasional girl who comes around in the summer.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Never—and I mean ever—trust a man with your heart.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Four years. Four years of hell on earth, and I’m finally free.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ Evergreen. That’s what he was to me.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ I don’t hate my life—no, because that would mean she wouldn’t be in it. What I hate is what I do.

.｡ｏ♡ ☆ * . ☆ My old self would’ve said the greatest gift I ever got was my skates. But now? It’s the little bundle in my arms as we glide across the ice.
