After losing her job and her girlfriend, it's time for Annie Abraham to admit defeat and move back in with her parents. She has hardly been back to her tiny Montana hometown since the unforgettable summer before her senior year of college, when she agreed to babysit for Laurel Jacobs. Annie didn't expect to fall in love back then, and she never thought that after all this time she'd still be in love with the woman she walked away from when she was twenty-one. Laurel Jacobs has never gotten over Annie Abraham. It's been almost a decade since their fling and she can't move on. She has her kids to think about - at least, she tells herself that's why she hasn't been on a single date since Annie left. Her life was different back then: when they met, she was in the middle of a divorce with two young kids and no idea how the future looked. Now she owns a bookstore, her kids are growing up, and she's too busy for romance. Annie thought she would have more time to settle back into life in Deer Pines before being confronted by the love of her life, but she's not that lucky. After all this time, she's back for good and Laurel is the first person she sees, when she has just spent seventeen hours on a train and she's desperately in need of caffeine. It's the first time they've seen each other in eight years and it isn't long before all those old feelings come rushing back to the surface. They weren't buried as deep as they thought they were. A lot has changed since they last saw each other, more than either of them realize, but life hands out second chances for a reason. The first time they fell in love, the timing was wrong. Now's their chance to make it right. © Elle Carrigan 2023

Una de las cosas que más increíble me parecía de la vida, o tal vez del destino, era lo difícil y caprichosa que podía volverse. Me robaba sonrisas y me robó el motivo de ellas. Me entregaba tristeza y dolor, cuando estaba en máximo punto de felicidad y me hacía perder algo en mis victorias. Una lucha constante, contradictoria e interminable entre lo que yo quería y ella me entregaba. La mayoría de esas cosas tan impredecibles que me desestabilizaban de una manera indescriptible, y entre cosas estaba ella. Ella que apareció aquel día en esa mesa de la cafetería sin que yo lo esperara o lo viese venir. Ella con su imagen siempre confiada, con tanta seguridad que tumbó por completo la mía. Ella que perturbó mis movimientos con sólo aparecer. Ella y su estúpida forma de sentarse, firmar o respirar con la cual me hipnotizó y yo jamás lo vi venir. No me dio tiempo. No pude, ni supe reaccionar ante aquel acontecimiento que no esperaba. No esperé que mi vida cambiara de la forma en la lo hizo, jamás estuve preparada para el inminente y hermoso caos que se volvió mi realidad después de conocerla. Pero es lo más increíble de la vida, con sus inicios tontos y finales sorpresivos ¿No es así? El tener un día un giro inesperado que te atrape, te absorba y tu sólo puedas respirar, cerrar los ojos y en contra de cualquier pronóstico, dejarte llevar.
