How could she say that. "Oh please. Don't tell me you didn't even fall for him in that span of week? That's way too impossible. Every woman is getting hooked to him, a rich, hot and wise young tycoon. Lorcan's definitely a catch! How stupid of you to let him go!" Yes. I guess i really am stupid. But what can i do? That's how i love, the way of love i know. To let go because the person i love asked for it and I'm willing to give him the happiness he wants even if it doesn't count me.

Without her, I was adrift, lost in a sea of my own making. I blinked back my tears, the room around me blurring, and took a shaky breath. I had held on for so long to this belief that if I only tried enough, if I just held on tight enough, she would be mine again. But love wasn't possession. It wasn't grasping hold of someone until they could do nothing but stay there. Love was letting go. It was trusting someone to make their own choices, even if those choices didn't include you. And now, I had to let her go.

Does what's best for her. I'll let her go. Respect her choice. Continue being better while she's away. Because that's all I can do. That's all I should do. Even if watching her walk away is the hardest thing I've ever done. Even if the knowledge that she'll be gone tomorrow makes it hard to breathe. Even if I'm terrified she'll leave and never come back. I'll let her go. Because I love her. Even though it's killing me.

I'll follow your lead. Elara: You promise? Me: I promise. On everything I am, everything I have. I promise. Elara: Thank you. I love you. I put my phone down and start the car. This time, I'm really letting go. Not playing a long game or manipulating the circumstances. Not waiting for her to break. Actually letting go. Giving her the space to find herself. To miss me. To realize what we have without me forcing it down her throat. It's the hardest thing I've ever done.

Long enough to admit something to myself I haven’t admitted before. I love her. The realization comes without drama. Without panic. Without confusion. Cold. Clear. Absolute. And that’s exactly why I have to let her go. Because men like me destroy the things they love. And I won’t destroy her. Not completely. Not if I still have a choice. I lean forward slowly. Carefully. Press my forehead lightly against hers. Her skin is warm now. Better. Alive. “I’d burn the world for you,” I whisper against her skin. A pause. “And that’s exactly the problem.”

“I bought Tyler new shoes that day, and you didn’t like the watch I gave you. So I bought these especially for you. Try them on and see if they fit.” I looked at her helplessly. “Vanessa, you do realize we have nothing to do with each other anymore, right?” She froze, then let out a soft laugh. “I know. You’re just angry with me for now. You loved me for so many years. How could you suddenly stop loving me? I don’t believe it.”

And across the table, Ethan's smile faded for half a second before he reached for his glass. Ben lifted his champagne. "To the people who show up," he said. "And to the ones lucky enough to be loved by them."

he said. "Yes." "He is scared." "Yes." "So am I." "Of what." "Of him not coming back." I walked to him. Put my hand on his face. "He will come back. He just needs to figure out who he is first." "And if he figures out that who he is does not include us." "Then we let him go. That is what love is. Letting people go when they need to go. And being here when they come back." "When did you get so wise." "When I started loving you."

"I love the shit out of you, Alice Ann Rhodes. I've loved you from the moment I first saw you, and I did everything I could to get your attention but you were in a committed relationship and didn't pay me the slightest mind, and I respected you so much more for it. I never thought you'd be mine and that made me desperate to have you even more. I'm not used to being told no. But I had to learn to accept that some things just weren't made for me, and that was why I let you go. I never understood what that saying meant. Loving someone and letting them go just sounds so fucking counterintuitive, but I realized that it was the pure truth after you, baby. I'd give anything to see you happy, even i
