My Twin Flame Romance — Part 21
Dating And Damaged
If you haven’t read Part One, I suggest you do that now. There’s some important disclaimers in there I just don’t feel like repeating — so check it out and come back here when you’re done. Kthx.
Alone, broken, and paranoid, my life began all over again.
As much as I wanted to move on and forget what happened, each step forward reminded me of the quicksand I’d been stuck in for so many months. There just wasn’t any escape; Ben was everywhere, in all things.
I remember during the Con from Part 1 and Parts Five and Six, I had fully intended on sharing the experience with Ben. Instead, I sat in my empty apartment lamenting everything. At least until my mom insisted I come out there, even if just to hang out in her hotel room.

I had my mom pick up his badge earlier in the day, so he couldn’t freely walk around. It wouldn’t have made much difference, but it gave me a small comfort knowing he would have difficulties getting around the Con.
By the time I was convinced to go, it was already dark outside. The 45 minute drive was far too long to contemplate all the ways I could stumble across Ben; by the time I got there, I was a right mess.
