L tried everything to make Marc love her: be the best friend that he needs and doesn't think he need, be the number on supporter in whatever he wants to do, be the person he would hate when he needs one. She would bark if he asked her to, jump off a cliff despite her fear of heights... if that's what he wanted.
Another night of rejection--the worst one yet--told L that enough is enough.
But how do you pick up the pieces of yourself that you lost in loving someone for six years?
L didn't know where to start, until a tape recorder with a stranger's voice shows her the way.

Boss's Woman - Regretful Hero
-Completed- "I already said I am not dating her. Of course, I am not dating her." "Why would you give her attention then? I don't like it." She said whining. "Because she is overweight and I want to help. Nothing more, okay? She is just someone I am training with." He answered with a glimpse of impatience in his voice.

I Don't Want This
Charlie- From the minute I saw my new boss I wanted to fuck him. I could by the way he looked me up and down that he wanted to fuck me too. Then two months later he made a move. For four bliss filled months he made every sexual fantasy I'd ever had come true. By the time I realised I was falling for him it was too late. I didn't know that he had also realised until he was showing me exactly what he thought of my feelings. He thinks we can just continue as we were but for me there's no coming back from what he's done. Marc- I saw love hearts in her eyes and I freaked out. I took the cowards way out and rather than have a conversation like the 39 year old man I am I decided to show her exactly where we stood. I thought we could just carry on the way we were but Charlie's made it clear that won't be happening. It didn't take me long to realise I'd made a huge mistake. If only I'd realised sooner I also had love hearts in my eyes and I'm living in regret hoping she'll forgive me.

All of The Girls
She knew he'd been in love before. Not just once, not just in passing. Real, deep, messy love. And maybe that should've been her sign to keep her distance. To not let herself feel too much. But instead, it made her pause. Because the way he talked about them-the girls before her- it wasn't bitter. It wasn't dramatic. It was quiet. Thoughtful. Almost gentle. He remembered birthdays, late-night calls, stupid little details no one else would hold on to. He loved them well. Or at least, he tried. And that's what messed her up. Because it made her want to fall even harder. And at the same time, it made her want to run. She wasn't afraid of his past. She was afraid that someone like him-someone who had already given so much-might not have anything left for her. Or worse, that he would love her the same way. And she'd fall for it, just like they did. And end up as another name he says gently, years, from now.
