“Why?” I whisper. “Why do you want me back into your life when it’s clear that Anya is the only woman you’ll ever love?”

His eyes are dark as he growls, “Anya is my past. She’s in the past, Willow. I promise you that she’s in the past. I will never let her come between us again. I swear on my life.”

I close my eyes to hide the pain. “I don’t believe you. I waited for you to get over her, Dante. I waited for weeks, hoping that you would be able to move on from her. I waited like a fool, dreaming that you would love me as you love her. I don’t want to be your second choice. I don’t want to be someone you fall back on because you cannot be with the woman you love.”

His forehead creases, and he tries to move towards me. He winces when the dizziness hits him.

“Don’t try to move; you’re not fully healed.” I remind him.

He exhaled sharply, “You’re not that woman.”
