Unforgiven
“There was a lot she knew she’d never understand about Samuel, what made him tick, and why he chose to do the things he did—to continually hurt those he said he loved. But there was one thing she knew as sure as the rain. Samuel had a fear of commitment.
She’d always been able to recognize the signs. They’d once been as close as two lovers could get, but there’d always been this side of him that he kept locked away and no one could touch. She always felt it, maybe before he even felt it himself.... It was a fear of being hurt, of opening up a part of himself that he’d closed off forever. She could almost see the moment that door cracked open, that moment of allowing someone truly inside, before he slammed it closed again. He might never be able to let her in. Maybe now she was at a point where she could understand it, if not accept it.
As soon as the door clicked closed, she let out a shaky breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. She was both happy and heartbroken at the same time.MoreLess
