As soon as we got into the car, I turned to Jake, unable to stop myself from smiling. "Thank you, Jake. For tonight, for everything. You've done so much for me… it's all just so overwhelming." I let out while he glanced at me and smile.
"What do you mean, overwhelming? You deserve all of it." He chimed in.
I leaned forward and met his lips for a quick kiss before I sat back.
I looked out the window, trying to hold back the tears that had suddenly filled my eyes. Memories from my past came rushing back… again. The naive hope I had when I entered my first marriage with Jackson, believing it would be everything I ever wanted. I was so eager to explore all the love the future had for me but Instead, it had been years of pain and heartbreak, leaving me convinced that love wasn't meant for someone like me.
Jake looked at me and noticed I was getting emotional already.
