DATING MY DAUGHTER'S EX
"So, we need to stop seeing each other, right? That's what this means?"
"Not really," she said, looking up at me. Her eyes were full of a pain that matched mine. "I will always be here for you if you need me. As a friend."
"But that is not what I want!" The words burst out of me. "All I want is to be close to you. To love you. To be with you. Not as a friend."
"I want that as much as you do, Leo," she whispered. "But Maya. What is the point of having a company, a life, if my own daughter hates me? Please, try to put yourself in my shoes."
