You loved Simon. He occupied your mind 24/7. Unfortunately he didn’t love you back. He enjoyed sleeping with you from time to time but you were just a warm body to fill the empty spot in his bed.

You both lay in the aftermath of you intimacy as you lay against his chest. He knew you loved him. He wasn’t stupid. But he just had to make sure you knew he didn’t love you the same so you wouldn’t get attached.

“You know this doesn’t mean anything, yeah? We’ll go back to work like normal.”
