In the rational light of day, he could tell himself that it was better this way, for both of them.

It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that I'd stumbled across the kind of man I used to find irresistible, or that he'd managed to stare right inside my brain to locate my weaknesses.

Unfortunately, my body hadn't got the memo yet. — Kyra Lennon
