I've had the most wonderful week
Jack is intelligent and kind and funny and sexy as all fuck We’ve talked for hours and laughed and made love He's shownfor us and he even took me to meet his parents But tomorrow it all ends
After ht The thought of not being in his quaint little log cabin with hi me, and it shouldn’t
Because this isn’t who I am
I'er for Ferrara Media in New York, the one ears designer clothes and lives in a multi-million-dollar penthouse I eat out at the best restaurants hts, I socialize with the elite and drink fancy cocktails
So why does it feel like this is the end of the world?
Jack cos shut, "You need to fix that door," I whisper
"I know"
He picks me up and sits down and puts me on his lap He wrapssafe in his arms
Rex walks up the stairs and tries to juh, I've even made friends with him
"Don’t," Jack says
Rex tries to get to me but Jack pulls me away "Don’t, she's mine," he snaps as he holds me close
And I could just cry, because soood
Mine
I need to snap out of this sappy business
"You all packed?" he asks
I nod
"What tiht?"
"Nine"
Jack nods but stays silent
There's a sense of dread between us How do you go fro totally besotted with them in a week?
We haven’t discussed what's going to happen when I leave Up until now, it's all felt so natural between us
Leaving him, not so much
I don’t like the idea of hi to look after him?
"It's been a great week," he whispers as he looks out over the mountains
I smile sadly "The best" I feel a lump in my throat, and I know our tiht in the darkness
But our worlds are different, and it would never work between us Michelle was right, I couldn’t live here, and he couldn’t live in New York
"Let's go to bed, baby," he whispers
I nod and stand, and as he walks inside, the screen door bangs hard again
I stare out over the view, fog puffs into the air as I breathe out The air is so still
And it's not just Jack that I's me
"Holly," he calls
With one long last look, I sain "Can you fix that dah
"Yeah, yeah," heme, woman"
