Disclaim.
She smiled ruefully at him. They would continue to lie to each other, saying nothing and everything at the same time. They barely speak or see each other, but when she goes home, she has someone who loves her. At least she thinks he does, and for now that's all that matters.
But him? He goes home to parents that care about him, sure, but he wants someone he can hold close and love. Someone that loves him.
She can't help him though. His parents are still happily married and her mom didn't marry his dad. Sometimes though...sometimes she thinks about taking him away for a few hours where they can pretend that they're happy together. Somewhere were Morty's still in tact. Somewhere were he didn't go over the edge and scare her off...Sometimes she wishes...
What she doesn't know is that he wishes that he could take her away forever and not pretend. She doesn't even have a clue when he asks, "Do you think we could pick up where we left off?"
Which is why she lied when she shook her head. She couldn't go back to him when there was so much bad between them, even if there's a lot of good somewhere there too.
She backs away from the one she wishes she had been with lying to everyone around her, including herself.
Somehow Clare Edwards is okay with lying to the world if she appears happy with a perfectly good guy though. She'll just wish the Eli Goldsworthy was that perfect man next to her everyday for the rest of her life.
Just a drabble. I know it's a little odd, or whatever, but it's not my normal style. There's almost no talking. Haha
Anyways, I've got something new I've been working on. I'm more or less working out the first few chapters before I upload it though.
