The Matchmaker's Choice: A Lesbian Romance - Page 184

not ready. That would make me extremely sad, but I’d

understand. If you want to try this, then I want you to know

that I’m not going to change my mind about who I am. I’m not

wouldn’t walk away from me. That she’d actually get how

disabling fear can be. I’ve been crippled by that pain in the

past. It’s destroyed a lot of good things for me.

I can’t let it destroy this. That would be even more

painful.

And stupid.

How can I match people up for a living, how can I care

about them finding real happiness, when I’m so desperately
