When We Were Young
By ineisswift

Amelia Fernandez used to be the quiet one.
The kind of girl who clung to her mother's side like a shadow - soft-spoken, gentle, and far too perceptive for her age. Her mother was her anchor, her world. Until the day she wasn't.

Now Amy is just... surviving.

She has big, almost doll-like brown eyes - the kind that look green if the sun hits right. Wavy brunette hair that turns golden under light. Nearly five foot ten with a body most girls envy and she never learned how to appreciate. Amy hates change, always has. But life didn't really ask her permission. When she got a full-ride scholarship to study law across the country, her brother practically shoved her onto the plane.

New city. New life. New home.

And of course, she ends up living with him.

August Ashford.
The Ashford heir.
Six foot three. Dark green eyes. Sharp jaw. Shoulders that could carry the weight of the world - or at least a few sins. He grew up in her house after his mother died. Their mothers were best friends. Amy and August? Not even close. He made a hobby of teasing her. She made a mission out of ignoring him. It worked. For years.

Until now.

Now he's her roommate.

And even worse, he remembers everything about the girl she used to be - even if she barely remembers him.

They were never friends.
Never anything.
But the tension between them? It's new. It's real. And it's dangerous.

Maybe they've changed.
Maybe they haven't.
Maybe the past isn't done with them just yet.
