"Promise me," he whispered before he looked at her. His eyes were searching her light brown eyes and was once again lost in the beauty. "Let's make a deal. That we stay together. That we stay a family." She raised an eyebrow at him. "I'm not crazy, Jay. I love you so much and I can't imagine my life without you in it. You have made me and Lara so happy and this is our little family." 

For a few seconds, the room was silent. Neil heard the clock tick and as each second went, he could have sworn it was slower than than the last. Finally, she smiled, being both her hands behind his head. "As long as you promise to love me like you have then I'm all set," she whispered as she leaned in to kiss him. 

"So that's a deal then? If things get bad we try our best to sort it out until we know there's nothing else we can do?" 

"Sounds like a good deal to me," she said with a laugh before leaning in for a kiss again.

Carly Atwood always remembered the man that used to live in the loft above the barn when she was a little girl. John was her childhood crush, he was the guy she wrote about in her diary, and when he left her in his army greens, he was the first man she ever cried for. Nine years later, Carly isn't the eleven year-old girl John left behind. She grew up and moved on with her life, taking over the Atwood Ranch following her father's death. John isn't the man he used to be either; physically and emotionally scarred following his last deployment in Afghanistan, John is returning to the only place he ever called home, back to the loft above the barn and to the pretty blonde girl that's been holding onto his dog tags for all these years. ----- Title inspired by the song of the same name by Tim McGraw.
