Morningside Cuesta ii. nine lives

Can I be enough for you? She told you that you couldn’t have both and yet you still can’t let her go, can you? No matter how sincere he was, Khoe couldn’t hear anything but deceit pouring from his mouth. You know, she said, that cynical laugh slowly returning, I’m trying my best, too. I’m trying to feel like there’s something genuine here. I’m trying to feel like you love me the way that I love you, but it’s hard when you sit in the den and fantasize about other women with your family sleeping beside you.

Khoe looked at Grayday and sighed, both from exasperation and pure disappointment. Though, she was much less disappointed in him than she was in herself; she should have known better than to give herself so wholly and so quickly. She knew that she would stay up the rest of the night, fuming with fury, and then she would have to find it in herself to let the grudge fade with the morning sun.

But even when Khoe forgave, she never forgot, and this would be no exception.
