We had already broken the contract’s stipulations by sleeping together once, and he wasn’t going to make a second mistake.

I was such an idiot for thinking that our night together had meant anything to him. For believing that maybe, just maybe, he might have developed some feelings for me over the years and that I was wrong about his intentions.
