Chapter 62
Matt
She called. I’m picking Scarlett up for dinner tonight. I need to clear the air on everything and I want her to know I won’t leave her ever again. Tonight is going to be the night; I’ll know if she’s willing to try a relationship again, or if I should stay put in Texas, alone.
I told her I would go back to Texas, but I don’t think I could go back without her.
It doesn’t feel like home anymore without her there.
I don’t want to think about the second option.
I won’t ever be able to forget Scarlett; not having her in my life will be fucking horrendous. I hope it’s not an option.
Her agreeing to dinner is a step in the right direction, I think. I hate not knowing what’s going on.
Be patient, Matt.
I throw on a black jacket over a dark red button-down shirt. I’m taking her to Tony’s , the nicest restaurant in this small town. Hopefully what I have to say will be enough for her to want to be with me again.
I get into my car, gripping the steering wheel until my knuckles are white. I take in a deep breath, start the engine, and let it out.
Here we go.
