Their love story was built on secrets, lies, and an obsession that neither could escape.
“If I were the guy you first met…” He slides along the edge of the tub. “Could you fall in love with me?”
My mouth tumbles open as his words send my belly into a free fall. How am I supposed to answer that?
“Summer?”
Without considering the consequences, I jerk my head into a nod.
He continues to scoot toward me before dropping to his knees on the other side of the porcelain. Both of his hands slide through my wet hair, holding my head in place before carefully searching my eyes. He tips my face until his warm breath can drift over my lips.

“Are you sure?” His expression turns serious. As if whatever I say next will somehow seal my fate.

I don’t like it.
I don’t like it at all.
It’s messing with my head. And that, I don’t need. Not now. Not when I have everything to lose.
