*Carolina's POV*

I stare at the sign that says "Welcome to Starlight City" as if it's saying "Turn Around Now". It's probably my heart telling me that moving back to my hometown is a mistake. I look around the gas station where we stopped for coffee and a shiver runs through my spine despite the 95 degree weather.

Everything is so familiar, yet so foreign, the sights, the sounds, even the light scent of the beach breeze that whispers "Welcome Home", at the same time reminds me of things better left in the past. I take a deep breath and get lost in the memory of the first time I ever saw Logan Matthews...

I remember sitting on the sidewalk in front of my mom's house, a chubby five year old with round cheeks and puffy red eyes, as red as my unruly hair. My dad had just passed away from cancer and my mom was inside making funeral arrangements. I didn't know what being dead meant, but one of my cousins told me I'd never see my dad again and my little heart was broken.

There I was, with my soul broken in two, when I noticed someone kneeling in front of me. 'An angel' was my first thought, a beautiful angel surrounded by light. "Don't cry," said the angel. Little did I know, that the moment I met his amber eyes would change my life forever.

"Are you ready, mom?" my son's worried voice pulls me out of the past and into the present. I turn to look into his eyes, as green as mine and full of concern for me. "As ready as I'll ever be." I answer honestly.
