A promise written on a coaster.
A lost night in a dark room.
Grayson Cole was my brother’s best friend.
He was all of my firsts.
Then he went away...
Drew Harris was just a kid, a senior in high school, my best friend’s little sister.
They said she was too young to know her feelings.
I was too old to have them, so I left to join the military.
Four years passed.
Loss, injury, angry words I can never take back.
I’m home, but I’m not the same.
Neither is she.
Now she’s a woman with flashing blue eyes, long blonde hair, and gorgeous curves.
She’s the same sweet smile, the same sassy mouth...
I could never say No to her before.
I should say No for her sake.
She deserves better than what I’ve become, scarred and damaged.
"They told me to stay away from you. I went away to try... God, I tried. Now everything has changed. I’m back, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine..."
