“Do you actually love me?” I asked. I knew it sounded a little ridiculous–even pathetic–but if I didn’t ask, I’d just keep muddling through in confusion.

“I don’t know,” Edward said, his voice low. “I don’t know what it really means to love someone. But I do know that when I’m with you, I’m happy, I’m at ease. You’re interesting, full of life, and you bring out a passion for living in me.”

“Why can’t liking someone be enough for us to stay together?” Edward pressed.

“I just don’t think anything in this world really lasts,” I said, biting my lip, doubt flickering in my eyes.

“You still don’t believe in yourself. You’re like a kite with its string cut, just drifting wherever the wind takes you, never stopping to look back at what you’ve left behind. Victoria, don’t you realize you treat relationships like they’re just old clothes you can toss out whenever you feel like it?” Edward snapped, his tone full of frustration.

But Edward just gave a quiet, almost mocking chuckle. “When you were with Ryan, how many times did you actually make the first move?”

I felt a sharp pang in my chest and muttered, “How do you know so much about what happened between me and him? Did you have eyes on us every single time?”
