Where We Left Off - Paperback

Tyler
Nate was the one thing I never got to finish.

We were seventeen when we got caught kissing behind the school. A week later, he was gone. No goodbye. No explanation. Nothing.

I told myself I was over it. After four years, I almost believed it.

Then I walked into Pulse on a Tuesday night, already feeling sorry for myself, and there he was. Taller than I remembered. Better dressed. Smiling at me like he hadn't disappeared without a word.

I should've walked the other way.

Instead, I stayed.

That is the precise and only reason I am here. He has made that clear. Security outside my door. A driver who reports my movements. A father who has spent my entire life teaching me what wanting the wrong thing can cost.

I have spent four years learning not to want anything he could use against me.

Then Tyler walks back into my life.

I know exactly what my father will do if he finds out. Not just to me. To Tyler.

But I already lost him once.

I won't let it happen again.
