He feels her skin under the scratchy covers of his bed. The way her fingers graze his chest. Her hot breath on his neck. The drying sweat on their skin.

Everything is perfect. Things haven't been perfect in so long. He hasn't slept in so long. It's been a while since he's had an actual meal. Today at work he didn't second guess anything.

Maybe he was ok now. Maybe he was over it. Maybe he could live the rest of his life without worrying about her anymore. Maybe all of that suffering paid off. Maybe she was meant for him. Maybe she could guide him to be a better person.

She actually wants him in his life. She cares about him. She has sacrificed more than any girl has ever done for him. Including her.

He tells himself he's happy.

And maybe he is happy.

He looks over and stares at the women laying in his bed. The way her dark hair rests over her bare shoulders. The way her eyes rest when she's had a long day. The way her lips curve into a small smile when he tells her that she's beautiful.

Because she is beautiful.

He has to remind himself that this is not Pam.

That this is Karen.

Why can't this be Pam?
