Never Promised I Wouldn't: A Second Chance Romance

Sixteen years ago he broke my heart, but young love never lasts anyway...right?I loved her back then. One night changed everything. I lost her, I lost my chance to play college ball, I lost life as I knew it. And I gained a son who's my whole world. Moving to Watercolor Ridge was a Hail Mary for a new life. My son was drowning at the big city schools, so I took a new job and moved us to a small town where he could thrive. I didn't know Emma was here until I walked into her office and time stopped. She was beautiful back then, but the years have transformed her. She's stunning. She's also powerful, accomplished, and respected... and she's looking at me like she just saw a ghost. All I see though, is the girl I once knew. Mine. There are things she doesn't know, and this feels like a second chance. Can we move past the hurt that tore us apart, or is our history destined to stop a future written in the stars before it even has a chance to start?I never promised to love her forever... but I never promised I wouldn't.
