Chapter 16
"Hey Connor!" Corinne said as she saw him walking into her office.
"Hello. So umm I got this invitation in the mail this weekend."
"Amy and Matt's wedding?"
"Yes. Would you like to come with me?" Connor asked hesitantly.
"Sure. I'd love to go with you." Corinne answered.
"Great...lunch later?" Connor asked as he dropped a kiss on her forehead.
"Sure. Bye." Corinne said smiling up at him.
"Bye."
Corinne dropped her head on her arms after her smile faded as Connor closed the door. She knew that if she was smart about this relationship they could make it last. But every time she spent time with Connor she couldn't help but think about Jeff. She drummed her fingers on the table and then looking at the door of her office guiltily, opened a drawer on her table. Rifling through the folders it contained she found what she was looking for.
A picture of her and Jeff sitting on the hammock at the back of his house, which she hadn't had the heart to throw away. She closed her eyes, thinking back to almost a year ago when the picture had been taken. Jeff had been supposed to be at a signing on the day of their anniversary. He had gone to the signing with Matt since Amy had been injured at the time. She could still remember driving home with Amy on the passenger seat feeling depressed that she wouldn't be able to be with Jeff that night. She had been laying on the hammock watching the sun set alone when all of a sudden she felt someone sitting on the hammock behind her and could still feel the butterflies in her stomach when she realized that Jeff had come home. A bittersweet pain filled her heart as she stared down at the picture. Something had to be done about her relationship with Connor. She knew then that she couldn't be with him...and feel the way that she did about Jeff. It was time...to let him go.
sorry for the super short chapters...I'll try to make it up to you guys next time.
Poor Corinne...she just has no idea what the hell is going on across the big pond
