~ The next great love story from Sapphire Falls ~

 

 

 

 

 

Only one thing had not gone according to plan in Kyle Ames’ entire life.

Her name was Hannah McIntire.

And she was currently sitting at a back table in the bar in his tiny hometown of Sapphire Falls.

Even from across the room with the inside-a-bar-at-night lighting, he could tell she looked exactly the same. Her long brown hair, streaked with red and gold highlights was perfectly styled. Her long legs were crossed under the skirt of a pretty, flowered sundress paired with a perfectly matched sweater and sandals. He couldn’t see her hands or face from here, but he knew that her nails would be manicured and her makeup would be flawless. He also knew that the glass in front of her was filled with iced tea and flavored with one packet of calorie-free sugar substitute and that the only thing on the menu she would have been interested in was the grilled chicken sandwich. And that she would have scraped the cheese off as soon as she saw it.

Hannah McIntire was the most put together, predictable, organized, goal-oriented person he’d ever met. She was his soul mate in every way..

Or, at least she had been, before she’d become the most unpredictable thing to ever happen in his life.

Kyle’s chest tightened and he took a step in her direction. It was time for some answers.

But he was brought up short after step two by his best friend. Derek stepped in front of him, putting a hand on Kyle’s shoulder. “Whoa, what are you doing here, man?”

Kyle scowled and tried to move around him. “I’m here to welcome Hannah back to town.”

Derek moved with him, cutting him off. “Well that’s a horrible idea.”

“Knock it off,” Kyle said, stepping the other way. “You texted me to tell me she was here.”

Derek took a wide-legged stance in front of Kyle, blocking his view of the room. “Well that’s bro code. I can’t see my best friend’s ex back in town after three years and not tell him. But I was really hoping you wouldn’t come down here.”

Kyle gritted his teeth. “Why were you hoping that?”

“Because I was kind of hoping that you wouldn’t care.”

Yeah, well, Kyle had kind of hoped that he wouldn’t really care too. He’d assumed that at some point before he died, Hannah would show up back in their hometown. And he’d really fucking hoped that by then he wouldn’t care. But he’d also hoped he’d have another couple of years before that happened. Or ten. Or that he’d be old and senile and not remember her.

That hope had been dashed the second he read *Hannah’s here.*

Because he cared. He definitely cared.
