Caria let her eyes rest on the male in front of her as she nodded her head slowly at his words. Could she imagine being able to just walk up and have a conversation with him? Maybe just a friendly wave if they were across the store from one another? Was it even possible for them to be normal? Right now all she could feel was this dull ache in her chest, demanding for her to figure out why the hell she had been feeling like this because how does someone just up and pack up a life they built? “Being friendly,” her hand moved up towards the strap of her bag that was resting on her shoulder, needing something to hold onto to keep herself in the present instead of in the thoughts racing in her head. “I think we can handle being friendly with one another… no more ducking into different aisles,” although, she mostly did it because this was something she wasn’t good at. There was no ill will, there was heartache, just an empty need for her to redo everything she had done wrong with them. “Well, I wouldn’t want to hold you back from… moving on.”
Her tone made it evident that his statement about moving on had hurt her feelings and Landon sighed, shaking his head at the woman. “Come on Care...are you really gonna stand here and tell me you haven’t been moving on? It’s been a few years now and we both deserve to be happy. I wanted that to be with you but we just...don’t work together.” That was putting it lightly. Landon and Caria were toxic as hell for each other. They’d fight constantly and then make up with sex like none of it mattered, only to be at each other’s throats the next day. He loved her more than he knew how to deal with and maybe that was the problem. His raging jealousy issues getting in the way of being rational. Or the way she lived to push his buttons and see just how far she could push him before he blew up. They didn’t know how to love each other the way they were supposed to. “You know I’m always gonna have a place in my heart for you but I have to be realistic about all this...you were the right girl, I just wasn’t the right guy.”
