Withdrawing from the hug, I open my mouth to stop Wade. He knows I don’t want to hear this; frankly, I thought we were over this, but he stops me, saying he knows I don’t want to hear it and he expects nothing from it.
“I just want you to know. I want you to know that I have never regretted anything more than I regret hurting you and losing you, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t give for one more chance.

I just wanted you to know that you will always have my heart. It’s no prize…” he says, and I cut him off and tell him I appreciate his words and wish him nothing but the best too.
