Sweet Talking Man (2014)
“For some reason she needed only the hum of the tires on the road to accompany her mixed-up thoughts. Normally she would have lit into her kid about the way she’d acted earlier, but some sixth sense told her Birdie needed to think about it. So she let the issue go and focused instead on how she’d nearly screwed things up with Leif.
I don’t want to hurt.
Why had she let that cat out of the bag? Made her sound weak, like some clingy girl who might show up one day wearing a wedding dress, h...olding a piece of cake to toss into his face. She hated being vulnerable, hated letting any man, or person for that matter, have that much control over her emotions.
She could tell herself she was over the pain of Cal’s betrayal. She could feed herself lines about being reasonable and taking relationships slow. But the fact was she was full of shit.
Because she was afraid of what she could feel for Leif if she let herself go there.MoreLess
