Jen felt her heart warm when she saw that he was trying to be considerate of her. She settled herself comfortably in his embrace before she started talking.
"There was a guy that I dated before I met you" she paused trying to gauge his reaction but she didn't feel any reaction from him so she continued.
"It's been over a year since we broke up but we dated for a bit over three years. If I think about how our relationship was I realise that I was definitely not happy, but I had managed to delude myself that I actually was" Jen said with a self-mocking laugh before becoming silent for a couple of minutes so that she could calm down.
The strong heartbeat she could feel against her back and Lucas' steady breath eventually helped her calm down.
