Going back to my high school reunion wasn’t part of the plan. Too many memories, too many what-ifs, and one man I’ve tried too hard to forget.
Nash Sampson. The sweet, steady guy who always made me laugh—and the one I never let myself have. Back then, I thought I had everything figured out: a boyfriend, a future, a secret I couldn’t share. And when it all fell apart, I left Crystal Cove without looking back.
Now Nash is standing in front of me, older, broader, and still looking at me like I’m the only woman in the room. The sparks are still there—hotter, even—but so are the fears. I’ve lost too much to trust easily again.
But the way he smiles at me makes me want to believe that maybe love doesn’t fade.
Maybe sometimes, it just waits for the right moment to come home.
