The boy who broke my heart is now the man who wants to mend it. Jared was my everything until an ocean separated us and he abandoned me when I needed him most. He forgot the promises he made. Forgot the love he swore was eternal. It was over before it began. Now, he’s a hot commodity, universally adored, and I’m the woman no one wants. Pining for a boy who no longer exists is pathetic. Years pass, men come and go, but I cannot move on. I didn’t believe my fractured heart and broken soul could endure any more pain. Until Jared rocks up to the art gallery where I work, with his fiancée in tow, and I’m drowning again. Seeing him brings everything to the surface, so I flee. Placing distance between us again, I’m determined to put him behind me once and for all. Then he reappears at my door, begging me for another chance. I know I should turn him away.
