Landon knew that if he walked inside, he would be able to see her in ten minutes.
It should have felt joyful and satisfying.
He didn’t even need two days to figure it out.
He had easily convinced himself.
Christine had just come out of a long–term relationship. It was normal that she didn’t want to date again.
There was nothing unusual about the fact that she was disappointed in and resistant toward men, love and even marriage.
He had been too impatient. He shouldn’t have pushed her like that.
If staying in this kind of relationship could make her feel at ease, then he didn’t mind not putting a label on it.
Was there anything more painful than loving someone you couldn’t have?
If there was anything worse, it had to be that moment a year and a half ago, when he found out that Christine was moving in with Hansen.
Back then, he had decided to let go.
That was why he had tried going on blind dates and meeting new people. He had been trying to move on.
But after he tried it, he realized it didn’t work. So, he ended things completely.
No matter how much his family pushed him afterward, he never entertained the idea again.
If Christine hadn’t come to Harbor City after her breakup…
If Christine hadn’t invited him upstairs that night…
Then he might have spent his whole life alone.
