Exclusive Excerpt:
Sawyerās gaze locked onto hers, and as much as Jamie knew she should look away, she just couldnāt. The lines around his eyes were new, as were the sharp angles of his jawline, but those warm brown irises of his were exactly the same. These were the eyes that had seen her at a time when no one else had. Sheād been nothing but a quiet, book-loving dreamer, and heād brought her out of her shell and shown her that the world could be every bit as colorful and vibrant in reality as it was in the novels she loved so much.
Meeting Sawyer OāDell had changed her. Heād helped her become the woman she was today, because sheād loved the person heād seen when heād looked at her with those eyesāinteresting, enchanting.
His.
What would it be like to feel that way again? To be loved and cherished by the only person sheād ever truly wanted to build a life with? To have her heart put back together by the man whoād broken it when heād been just a boy?
The thought was intoxicating. It made her do things she knew she shouldnātālike step closer to him so that their breath mingled together in the evergreen air, causing her to smile to herself as his gaze drifted slowly, purposefully to her lips. Her breath hitched as he dipped his head. Sheād never wanted a kiss so badly in her lifeā not even when sheād been sixteen years old and heād bent toward her in the exact same way for the very first time.
His hand was on her waist and his lips were just a whisper awayāa heartbeat, a breath, a memory. And Jamieās heart felt as if it were opening like a favorite book, one whose pages hadnāt been read in a long, long time. She let her eyes drift closed, because she knew this story by heart. The story of Sawyer and Jamie…
The story of us.
But in the sliver of a second before their lips met, someone said Jamieās name, and the book slammed shut.
āJamie?ā
Her eyes flew open. She and Sawyer blinked at each other, as if they couldnāt quite get their bearings. Then they both turned their heads in the direction of the speaker.
No. Jamieās stomach tied itself into a knot. It couldnāt be him. What on earth was he doing there?
She bit her bottom lip, still tingling from the missed opportunity. Sheād been waiting fifteen years to kiss Sawyer OāDell again, and apparently, sheād have to wait even longer. āMatt?ā
