Back in the day, I wanted her to be my everything. Now, a relationship isn’t in the cards. She threw that chance away. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun… right?
Anna
I learned the hard way that when people show you who they are, you should pay attention. So when Jackson suggested I sacrifice my career goals in support of his, I really paid attention. It hurt to leave him behind, but my future was wide open. College romances never last, right? But that was years ago. I was sure I’d never see him again. Sure I’d never fall prey to his charms—or skills—ever again.
I was wrong …
Jackson
Anna was my everything. But since all it took was one stupid fight to send her running, clearly she didn’t feel the same. That’s all ancient history, though. I’m on the fast track to partner, a different man now. College was a lifetime ago. Still, nothing could’ve prepared me for seeing her again. Doesn’t matter. Been there, done that. It’s a different world now.
This time around, we’ll do things my way.
