The break up was not messy at all. There was no anger or awkwardness between us. In fact, we had immediately gone back to being best friends again. Sometime afterwards, I had begun to wonder if Scott and I breaking up had truly been the right thing to do. Even after I started dating Michael, I had wondered that. Even though I had tried to deny it, a single fact alone had quickly become quite clear. I had never stopped loving Scott Conrad. The funny thing is, I get the feeling sometimes that he never stopped loving me, either.
