When you meet that one person in the world meant
for you... you should hold onto them.
Olivia Bannon walked away.
Twice.
When
17-year-old Livy meets Ethan, she can’t deny their inexplicable connection.
Lost in his dark, intense eyes and smile-to-die-for, Livy never thought she
would feel like this. It almost makes
her want to break her childhood vow, but Livy knows happily ever after is just
an illusion, and despite her heart wanting Ethan, her head is telling her to
stick with the plan. The one that doesn’t include falling in love. Period.
Eight years
later, Livy finds herself back in her hometown. After the way she left things,
the last time they were together, Livy is anxious about seeing Ethan again. It
shouldn’t come as shock to discover he has finally moved on—but it hurts. A
lot. Accepting that she will never get the chance to put things right isn’t
easy, but it’s not until life comes crashing down around her that Livy realizes
what she could’ve had. Left broken,
alone, and depressed, only one person can pull her out—the guy she thought
she'd pushed away one too many times.
Livy has
finally realized that you can’t fight fate… Some things are just meant to be.
Is this finally her time to get it right, or has Livy missed her last chance
with Ethan?
“Liv, what’s
going on? Is she okay? Keefer told me what went down.”
I moved away
from the door and met Ethan halfway. “No, she isn’t okay.” It came out bitter.
“Can I do
anything? I could come-”
I shook my
head. “We’re fine, thanks.” Without realizing I stepped back and Ethan’s face
paled.
“And us?”
My eyes
dropped to the floor.
“Liv, look
at me. What. About. Us?”
I forced
myself to look at him. My head and heart were at war. My heart wanted him to
wrap me in his arms and tell me everything was going to be okay. That Amber
would heal. That Sharn would meet her Prince Charming. That we really did have
something. But my head knew better. My head would always know better.
“There is no
us. I’m sorry, Ethan. Goodbye.” I turned from him and fled back to the limo.
“You’re
running from me, Liv. Don’t use this as an excuse to run,” he called out.
Once in the
safety of the limo, I slammed the door behind me, ignoring Sharn’s questioning
glare.
“How is
she?”
“A mess. This will leave scars.” Sharn
answered.
I leaned my
head onto the backrest and pressed a finger to my lips, trying to remember what
kissing Ethan felt like. Was it even real? It didn’t feel real. Not now. It
felt like a dream—the really good kind, until you wake up and realize it was
just that.
A dream.
Because in
the harsh light of day, life wasn’t like that. It was hard—full of hurt and
people who let you down.
No, life
wasn't like a dream at all.
