The truth is a hard thing. He might think he wants the truth, but honestly, if he has it, I think he’d realize he never wanted it.
The truth can hurt, and this one would hurt him like a motherfucker.
I should’ve known from the moment I met her that, eventually, she’d be my downfall. I mean, I am Adam, and she’s my fucking Eve. It had been written in the cards.
And for that wondrous brief moment in time, she was mine, and I was hers.
"All I got-after a year together and one week of marriage-was Evie disappearing without a word.
When the pain was unbearable, which was pretty regularly, I would take some coke and go out to a bar alone. I'd stay out until I found someone who looked enough like Evie to get me through the night. I was addicted to having sex with women who looked like my ex-wife.
I hate her for living her life without me. And I hate that I haven't been able to live without her. Because, really, all I have done for the last decade is exist inside the haze of my memories of her.
From the moment I'd seen Evie sitting up on that rock eleven years ago, I'd been obsessed. I lusted her, then loved her, and then hated her.
I stopped feeling when Evie left. Nothing will ever feel worse than that."
“Because I never got over you! I’ve spent the last ten years of my life pining away over you like an idiot while you moved on to a brand-new life, doing God knows what, fucking God knows who!"
