I can’t stop thinking about Margaux. Worrying about her.
She moves around from place to place what feels like every couple of years, and I can’t help but sense she’s running away each time.
It looks glamorous and nomadic, but her life hasn’t exactly been stable.
But there is a certain freedom in that. She’s doing something not a lot of people do.
She keeps getting involved with these dickheads, though.
I don’t think she purposely goes out there trying to find losers.
But I do think she’s easy prey.
Because she’s a genuinely kind individual. An empath.
And I get the sense that she overanalyzes her perceived flaws.
When she started dating the special agent, I felt a sense of relief. I always imagined her being with some kind of law enforcement guy. The good kind, though, because there are plenty of assholes there, too .
But I might be biased because of my own line of work. Not that I’m on that side of the law.
I’m more comfortable with the idea of her being with someone a bit nerdy. Maybe a software engineer or an architect, something like that.
But I know she wants and needs to feel protected.
I would protect her with everything in my being.
I’m trying to do what I can from afar, but it’s never going to be enough.
