I was ten when I fell in love with Mike Flynn.

He was three years older than me and best friends with my brother Logan, but that didn't matter to me.

I never thought as him as too old and I certainly never thought of him as off limits.

When I fell off my bike while racing with my brother it was Mike who circled back to make sure I was okay, it was Mike who turned my tears into laughter by telling me about my brothers inability to talk the minute his crush walked into the room.

I decided right then and there I was going to marry Mike.

Because I was ten and didn't understand the realities of romantic love, I still believed in fairy tales and I believed I would marry this guy with dark brown hair and grey-blue eyes.

It was my secret and I vowed to keep it to myself that was until things between us started to change I was no longer his best friends little sister I was now his Executive Officer and a woman,

but to understand I need to go back to the beginning…
