Chapter 62

Back then, I hadn’t appreciated it. Hadn’t even noticed it properly. Not until now when I hadn’t seen him for almost two years.

He’d always cared about my opinions and respected them. He’d never steamrolled over me like he’d sometimes done with other people. Instead, he’d been soft-spoken and considerate, and maybe that’s why I hadn’t understood the importance of certain topics. Maybe I’d expected him to assert himself on consequential things? To be more forceful?

How could I have misunderstood him so completely? Mistaken his consideration for complacency, thinking the issue hadn’t been important?

Could this breakup have been avoided if I’d only been more observant? If I hadn’t been so focused on myself and my dreams, and reallylistened to him? My nonchalance when it came to his questions about our future must have been incredibly frustrating for him. Yet, here he was. Willing to be the one doing all the concessions, and all he’d asked for was that I give him a chance.
