FreeNovelEleanor always thought her heart belonged to someone else.
Being with Kenneth was comfortable, convenient. They both had someone else in mind, and that arrangement
seemed to work just fine.
But people change, especially when they spend every day together.
Eleanor found herself growing accustomed to Kenneth's presence. He was there when she got hfrom work,
ready to hit the grocery store or cook dinner together. At night, they fell asleep in each other's
arms.
This newfound closeness turned what was once an advantage of their relationship into a thorn in her side. The
more she fell for Kenneth, the more it hurt knowing he was thinking of someone else. Someone named Dorothy.
Eleanor felt like Kenneth looked through her, hoping to see a face that wasn't hers.
Jealousy turned into anger.
Lying in his hospital bed, Kenneth offered a weak smile. "I've done a lot of thinking while you were away." Search

Kenneth realized that by holding onto Eleanor, he was just wasting her tand youth, with no real benefit to
either of them.
"She'll never be with you!"
"I know, I've always known."
Kenneth wasn't naive. He knew Dorothy had never really considered him, no matter how hot and cold she
seemed with Everett. Her heart was always with someone else.
Now, with no obstacles in their way, Kenneth's chances were even slimmer.
If only he could convince himself to give up hope.
"Why keep doing this?" Eleanor stood up, frustration in her voice. "Kenneth, do you realize what you're doing?
How old are you now?!" Kenneth gave a bitter smile. "I know."
"If you don't settle down, have kids, you might miss your chance forever! Your parents only have you. Don't you
think about them?"
"... But no matter who I'm with, I can't

Kenneth had agreed to be with Eleanor initially, just to put Dorothy at ease.
Now that she was happy with Everett, he no longer needed to put on a show.
