Briar POV
Everything in me wants to walk back out there and take it all back. I want to ask him to hold him until this pain is gone. Ask him not to back off, but I can't do that to him or me. He deserves to find a woman that isn't going to be tied to her ex-husband for the rest of her life. I can't expect him to accept another man's child when we have been on one date. I know he says he wants me, but he needs to move on and find a woman whose life isn't a complete sh*t show. A woman who can love him for the amazing man he is. The thought of him with another woman makes my chest ache even more. I have to protect my heart and let him move on. I walk into the bathroom and lock the door. I slide down to the floor and let the tears fall that I've been holding back. I refuse to give that b**
