Dear Heart, I Hate You

I didn¿t plan on him ¿ or for him.

I didn¿t plan on anything that had to do with Cal Donovan from Boston.

Meeting him was a complete and utter surprise, taking me completely off guard. I met new people every single day in my line of work, and none of them affected me. Isn¿t that just the way of things? You could meet a thousand people and they¿d all mean nothing to you, but then you¿d meet that one and they suddenly meant everything.

I was a self-professed workaholic. When did making yourself your number one priority become such a horrible thing? I wasn¿t entirely sure, but I learned fairly quickly after my last breakup that men don¿t like being second on a woman¿s priority list. And they seemed to be intimidated by a motivated female, calling me things like hard to handle, challenging, and difficult.

Being single seemed to work best for me, and I didn¿t plan on changing my relationship status anytime soon.

But then I met Cal.

And he f***ing ruined everything.
