The thought of Matt having sex with another woman causes jealousy to flare up inside of me, but I tamp it down. I have no claim to him, and it’s time to put on my big girl panties and concentrate on my job.
From here on out, Matt and I will nurture a strictly business, completely professional relationship. I will look to him to mentor me as a lawyer, and I will learn how to become the best litigator that I can be.
This will sustain me. I’ll make sure of it.
Even as something deep inside me whispers, This isn’t over.
