He'd pined after her for years. It was cute really… the way he ran and she chased. Their relationship had always been about give and take, a bit of a dance. Oh, how he had taunted her! Like pulling a school girl's braids, he sent her notes and presents… and clues to his whereabouts, just like an overgrown child. Not even Lyle could infuriate her more.
He had understood her how her mother's death had affected her and how afraid she was to give her heart to any man. And he'd sent the most trustworthy person he knew to make her feel treasured, Tommy.
He'd genuinely cared for her, no matter how cruelly she'd treated him. Would she ever experience that closeness with another?
How the secrets of their pasts and the lies told by the Centre had colored both their lives!
Caught up in memories, she clutched his last gift to her, a tiny silver heart, in her hand.
