Chapter 19 But Don't Be Too Hard On Yourself

• Chloe’s pov
• This might be the worst decision I've made since I left Derek. The power to change everything was in my hands, all I had to say was "yes" to Gary's simple question: "Should I stay the night here?" But I messed up. People say when you're drunk, it's easy to give in to temptation, and now, in the early hours of the morning, the urge to be close to someone hit me hard. I could have been with Gary, and maybe we could have just moved past it and never spoken of it again.
• "But don’t be too hard on yourself," I whispered, trying to comfort myself. I knew deep down I had done the right thing. But my body didn’t seem to understand. It would have been better to have never considered intimacy at all. I never had this strong urge before, especially since I had been waiting for Derek to call me. Now it seemed like my desires were getting the best of me.
