Violet doesn’t belong to me. She never has, no matter the desperation I once felt to make her mine. Yet here I am, back in my old neck of the woods, chasing after the ghost of my past like there’s a chance in hell to resurrect what we once shared.
“I know what I did. I know how badly I hurt you … And I know what I lost.”
“What we had was the most special thing to me. I was yours for so many years, and I loved you more than anything. I still do.”
“Going a little fast there, aren’t you, Bexley?”
He shakes his head so slowly that I become mesmerized by the purposeful movement. “I happen to think the lifetime it’s taken for us to be standing right here has been excruciatingly slow.”
My heart is beating so fast. “I might have taken a little detour.”
He leans in so his mouth is a mere inch from mine. “And you’re back on track now?”
... “Without a doubt.”
“And here I thought I’d have to work a lot harder to get you back into my bed.”
… “I don’t have the same willpower I once did. Like it or not, I’m pretty much a sure thing for you.”
“I’m certain there isn’t another man alive who could love you more than I do.”
