C44: Looking for Answers
Myra saw Jake hesitate.
It was now or never. She had to have answers to her doubts about the marriage with Jake. If she and Jake didn’t have that chemistry together, that proved one thing: she wasn’t truly in love with Jake.
Even when she owned those memories of cheating on Hart with Jake, and she knew she loved him at one point.
But those three years that she had lost; had she loved him?
She only wished that she had written down the memories somewhere, like a diary of some sorts, to ascertain her feelings for him during those three years.
She saw Jake come near. That’s right, she said in her mind. Come closer. I just want to feel if we have that chemistry between us.
