But slowly that novelty were off Gradually, he realized how petty she was. She could get upset over the persest things the often did things that left him shaking unsure if he should laugh or sigh. She didn’t fit into his world. Take the time she insisted on hagging over everything for the wedding the cake the dress, you name relentless penny pinching drove him nuts.
She had never seen much of the world. Whenever he introduced her to his friends, she managed to embarrass herself
She was unlike Callie who was so beautiful and grace. No one could find fault with her because she never gave them a reason to

The more he compared them, the more disappointed he became. And once that disappointment set in, it was all downhill from there Gideon was growing to dislike Yvette. The thought of marrying and spending every day with her made her feet ke he was suffocating She went like Callie Calle reser got jealous at the drop of a hat, nor did she constantly check up on him

He couldn’t even grab a drink with a female friend without her losing her cool. Even during dinner, when a waitress brought him something she’d get as it was like she was this enormous vat of jealousy, ready to swallow him whole if he so much as slipped
