Him

It'd be easy to love him. It'd be easy to fall into step and follow that path. The stars align and everything unfolds. It'd be easy.

And we'd both live miserably ever after.

A good guy. Ready to settle down, start a family. The kind of guy I'm looking for right? One that wants marriage and kids, done with the single, solo life. He could love me. He already loves Zane.

But I can't love him. It would be unfair to him. Four years ago, yes, it would've been easy. But broken pieces no longer work. The pain and heartbreak have slowly churned into a rage that will slowly kill me from the inside out. I couldn't possibly make him carry that burden.
