Chapter 1

After she created a love letter sealed with a comet on the rivercourt for Lucas, Peyton Sawyer returned to Trick as this was the best place for her to do her thinking. Since she had been home, that fateful night played in her head more than ever. Lucas had proposed to her and she didn't say yes. She hadn't said no either, but she didn't say yes. Now every time that scene played in her head, all she wanted to do was go back to the hotel room and tell him that she wanted to be with him forever. That was the one dream that didn't seem to have a chance of coming true.

All of a sudden, Peyton realized she wasn't alone with the ghosts from her past anymore….it was the love of her life in the flesh. Lucas Scott walked through the doors of Trick and saw the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen. You see, Peyton Sawyer would always be in his heart.

Neither of them spoke for what seemed like hours. "I don't hate you Peyt…I lo…well, I could never hate you. The first time I saw you, I was mesmerized. The hardest thing I ever had to do was let you go. It's still hard to see you. " Peyton smiled before she replied, "The only thing that has been going through my mind is how I should have said yes when you proposed to me, I had such faith in you Luke… faith in us."

He looked at her as he had that night on the rivercourt. He wasn't battling Nathan for a spot on the team, he was battling for Peyton Sawyer's heart. That realization left him with a void that no woman has ever filled, not then, not now. Instead of telling her that, he said "I'll be seeing you Peyt…" and walked out of her life once again.
