well, he couldn’t say he didn’t feel the same way. fucking elise, even been near her, after all that had happened between them, didn’t exactly feel like progress. it was quite the opposite, it felt like giving in to an old addiction. there had been a time where he thought no other woman would ever make him feel as alive as the blonde beauty did and he hadn’t been wrong. she did make him feel alive, just as much as she drove him crazy. but he was a father now, he’d moved on so much from the man he used to be when he was in a relationship with her and yet, standing right there in front of her, he had to face the fact that he hadn’t changed that much at all. he was smoking a cigarette in bed and she was dressing herself again, getting ready to leave him before they fell back on their familiar pattern again. “ we can’t keep doing this to each other forever ” he admitted outloud, his gaze finally moving towards her. that had not been the first time he’d said that to her but he kept hoping it’d be the last. “ i can’t put myself through this shit again. neither can you ”

elise regretted saying those words the moment they slipped off her lips, wondering just why she even voiced her thoughts out loud. as much as she would like to think that she has matured from the immature little girl she used to be, it would be a lie. parts of her did mature but there are some aspects that remained the same, just like fueling the same addiction she used to have years ago. buttoning up her shirt with her back turned against him as she listened to him speak, a quiet scoff escaped her lips as she glanced over her shoulder. "we can't--and yet, we are," the blonde pointed out bluntly. this one was on both of them and this cruise is too small for the two of them. as she did the last button, she spun around to meet his eyes again. “it’s not healthy. we never were,” she murmured under her breath, the truth coming from her mouth. and yet, there was no clear resolution when there’s still so much attraction between the two of them.
