I’d be her friend and then press for more. Because now that she was back in Montana, I wasn’t letting her go. I’d play it slow and steady. Put in the time. But one day she’d be mine. Just like she was always meant to be.

I had spent far too long learning to guard my heart. I was a master at pretending I was fine on my own. I was famous for striking back with attitude whenever I felt pain. And I had become an expert at leaving others before they could leave me.

Felicity’s ex boyfriend passed and she knows it’s time to stop running and make amends with the people she left behind. Can they risk a second chance when neither knows the other’s feelings?
