I stared at Bianca’s back as she walked away. I hadn’t meant to make her feel as if I were trying to take her choices away from her or make her feel trapped. Somehow, these days, I kept fucking up. I just kept making the wrong move.
Her back was stiff, and she hugged herself tightly as she stormed away. She was right. She had a right to decide what she wanted and how it would affect her life. I just wanted her choices to include me.
I was inclined to think she wouldn’t consider me in her thinking process at all now. For the last few weeks, we had either been at an impasse or arguing. As a man who rarely engaged in romantic relationships, even I knew that constant arguing or not communicating at all was bad.
I shoved my fingers through my hair and breathed out a deep sigh. Was I wrong to try and hold her here with me. if she were here, she would be in danger. If she were in Italy, she’d be safe from my enemies, but Al’s life wasn’t any more pristine than mine.
