I should have never dated Clara. I should have never started something with her that I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish.

Scarlett felt guilty; I could sense her guilt the entire drive back home to her house. I didn’t want to make her feel like this. But I also didn’t want to let her go. At least not yet.
