«Remember, Jacey, before being your lover… I am your mother. And it would be selfish of me to force you into something that goes beyond what should exist between a mother and her own son. So… if you no longer want things between us to continue this way, just say it and I will step aside…»
And as if her words weren't already painful enough, my heart jolts and my breath catches the moment I feel something wet against my chest — her tears, tapping lightly but relentlessly against my skin.
W-Why… why is she telling me these things now? Why would she ever think that I don't desire her anymore, or that I only love her because I feel obliged to?
It's bullshit — the biggest bullshit that has ever come out of her mouth! Veronica is the woman I love more than anyone else in the world, and never, ever has the idea of putting an end to our love even remotely crossed my mind.
So then… why the fuck did she start having all these useless paranoias?!
