I thought four years away would get him out of my mind.
I was distracted, educated, had boyfriends. None of them could rival him.
My truck rumbles, tires crunching over gravel. The creak of the garage door catches my attention. Then I'm running. He's running.
Arms around me. Feet off the ground. Warmth flush against me.
Jake.
Feet back to earth. Hands on my cheeks. Eyes looking into mine.
"Don't ever leave me again."
"Deal."
"I'm serious."
"Me, too. I can't stop thinking about you."
"Took you long enough."
"I'm sorry."
"You're forgiven."
A kiss. Years apart seem like nothing.
