Re: Under the Gazebo
Adam knew this wasn't the way to help her, but he was so tied up in his own emotions that he lacked the right amount of gentleness to do it right. She had pushed him too far, dangling him off the edge of keeping himself together. "Don't want anyone else." Adam whispered, eyes suddenly wet and hot.
But, it was too late. He was convinced she'd never take any steps towards him and he didn't have any more chasing left in him. Adam felt so old, all of a sudden. Like he shouldn't be trying to keep up with some young celebrity when really all he deserved was a nice woman that waited for him to come home every night. "Just leave me alone, Maddie K."
