Shit, she’d made him like her and Dean didn’t like easily

But then, she left hiht about it, he decided it was for the best She should be with someone else

Only, the sa He didn’t want to picture her with anyone else, spending tiht her hoever it was she preferred over hih for Sheri Not even ht

It took longer than Dean expected to convince Beatrice or Belle that he really wanted her to leave To her credit, she didn’t try to be a bitch and just shrugged like it was nothing, only added a “maybe next ti to be alone

He stood looking out of the picturein his unlit bedroo, three weeks, to admit to himself that Sheri hurt him

He’d expected more fros And most importantly, he’d have wanted her to believe in him

He dragged his hands down his face in exasperation The whole situation was fucked up In the beginning, he’d hoped she’d show up all apologetic Heck, they’d both apologize to each other and he’d support her through whatever had got her to run off the way she had If he’d done so to hurt her then, of course, he’d make it up to her, whatever it took

Now, though, he didn’t hope for shit He just wanted to move on fros to keep hi around Sheri Wilson had been the best assistant he’d ever had, the best everything to be honest, but he’d be a fool to let her get to him any deeper than she already had

He told himself he kneomen needed even when they didn’t know it themselves: not love, not worship, but awhere the pleasures of sex, companionship, and like-mindedness were offairy castles all around, acting like that could solve all their e, but only turned norht over them

Yeah, Dean did a whole lot of rationalizing till his goddamned head hurt

Hell

He didn’t need this What he needed, was to forget all about Sheri Wilson Because she’d certainly forgotten him
