Taking Chances
Saying I don't understand. What happened here?
Life, love, loss. Rachel Mason, the one with the unlimited job recommendations, the one with the unscarred skin, well, she had been living her life. This Rachel Mason, marred with the mistakes of yesterday and scarred in more ways than one… Not so much.
She had been ready to say yes. Had said it. He had asked her on that last day and she had been more than willing, blurring the boundaries of professional and personal. See where the evening took her, the company. How uncomplicated and sweet it had all seemed.
Now, he was asking again and she wished for anything but. Wanted him to disappear and leave her alone, though never truly abandon her.
Here was an opportunity that had already passed them by. Already a thing of the past. To say I told you so, she showed him her shame, her vulnerability. He was disgusted.
This wasn't their last chance, nor was it their first. They had never had one in the first place.
