Bellehaven, KY was in my rearview as soon as I got my diploma and walked off the high-school stage. Fifteen years later, I don’t expect to be back.
I sure don’t expect to be seeing the woman I had a one-night stand with at our senior prom, or be coaching the same high-school basketball team I played for. The team that includes her son; a freshman.

From afar, I watched as Cody Willett became everything he said he would be. Famous, and a future NBA hall-of-famer–until an injury derailed his career. Now he’s the coach for my son’s team. I’m keeping a secret though. One that’s bound to destroy us from the inside out.
Not many are given a second chance, and we’re bound to screw this up, but what if we don’t? What if this is the happy ever after everyone wants and deserves? With a fear I’ve only felt once before, I’m reaching out with both hands, grabbing hold, and refusing to let go.
