"Why do you think I asked?" Caden questioned, curious.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I don't know because you wanna get engaged in the future?"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Don't know, maybe." He mused with a smile.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Don't feel the need to just because. if you get tired of me, tell me and I'll be gone within an hour to make you happy" She said, not making eye contact
|

|
"Hey, now why would I break up with you? You're literally perfect, Em." He said softly.
|
|  |
|
| |

She shrugged. "Happened before. I found him with four other girls over and he straight up said I got boring and he told me to leave. And I did. He wasn't a good man, abusive and an alcoholic as well as might have held a gun to my head but it's all fuzzy"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"FOUR--he held a gun to your head?" Caden asked, shocked. "Wow, you absolutely did not deserve any of that."
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She shrugged again. "If you feel the same, tell me and I'll leave. Doesn't mean it won't hurt because I am so fucking in love with you but I'd understand"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Em that's not normal for somebody to do...cheat with four other girls and put a gun to your head, you...do realize that, right? And also if I ever decided to leave you it would absolutely break me." He said softly, cupping her face with one of his hands.

|  |
|
| |

|
"I mean it's fine, it's whatever you want. And I had told him no the night before because of my period so it was justified"
