I never should have walked away.
Being in the military just seemed worth the heartache, but I was wrong.
And being back and seeing her has me uncharacteristically needy.
There’s no way in hell she’s going to give me a second chance.
I wouldn’t.
And yet, fate has a way of opening the right doors at the right time.
I left my heart behind all those years ago, but I can’t make that same mistake twice.
I’m hers forever. For good.
If she’ll have me.
