I loved you then. I love you now. I’ve loved you every day for seven years.

Say you love me, Ivey.

Say it.”“Say what?”“Order me to tell you I love you.”The instant the words came out of my mouth, his eyes closed, a shadow of pain crossed his face and he dropped his head to the side of mine. He remembered.He missed that too.

Never before, never since have I felt for any woman, fuck anyone the way I felt about you. I want that back. I want my girl back.

I love you, Ivey, and you got a name you gave yourself that means somethin’ to you but I still want you to take mine.

Honest to God, dollface, you need to stop running around in that fuckin’ nightie. You’re killin’ me.

My girl’s home.

You still fallin’ in love with me?... ‘Cause you should know, baby, I’m already gone for you
