He was He was my first love. My first heartbreak. And the one I never really got over.
Six years ago, I left Hallowās End to chase big-city dreamsājust like James said I should. Now Iām back, burned out and completely unprepared to face the man who let me go.
Once upon a time, he promised me forever.
Now, he pretends nothing ever happened between us. But I know better.
James is familiar enough for me to know heās hurtingāeven if he doesnāt realize it himself.
And Iām not sure I can walk away a second time.
