There's a theory in psychology that says we unconsciously look for our parents when choosing our love partner.
I can testify to its accuracy; I feel like I married my father.
All what Adam cared about was showing his money, showing his possessions and success, and showing me off.
He didn't love me, only the idea of me.
And I don't blame him for that, because he truly believes that what we have is love.
I blame myself instead, because I knew it. I always knew it and I had second thoughts a long time before the wedding but my mom kept saying it was normal and my dad, he was so happy about everything.
They made me feel like I did something right and I was so scared of disappointing them.
But during my time away from my family and alone with Adam, I had a glimpse of how my everyday life would be: worse than the time we spent at our honeymoon, and our honeymoon was awful.
I realized what I had to do, what I should've done a long time ago.
This was my life and I was done letting people live it for me.

Heyy, it's Julian.
Logan told me you were looking for me this morning, I wasn't on campus but I can make it there this afternoon.
Sooo tell me when's a good time.
Me
Hi
Sorry it took so long for me to answer, I was in class
I just finished classes for today, if you can meet me at the coffee shop that would be great
I check the time. 4:34 PM.
He sent me a message at 1:17 PM but I was busy jumping from one class to another so I didn't reply earlier. Hopefully, he'd be able to make it today, I needed a distraction for when Caroline comes home.
Just when I'm saving his number to my contacts, he replies.
Julian Reed
I'm on campus right now.
I'll meet you there in 5 minutes.
Me
btw, do you have a class with Professor Clark?
Julian Reed
Yeah, on Wednesdays. Why?

Dr. Jensen likes him better than the other one, Martin's her last name I guess- therefore, you're good.
It probably shouldn't matter but I couldn't help but listen to the gossips around the department. Both professors, Clark and Martin, were big competitors and it was obvious Jensen liked Clark. In fact, everyone knew Clark was better, Martin just gave easy A's.
Julian Reed
*flattered*
Me
Shut up
I head for the coffee shop- Aspasia. I never paid attention to its name until now. I guess being nervous makes you excessively heed the details.
