Pure Promise

"I spent six years mapping out exactly how I'd make you hurt the way I did," he spat, cornering me in the dim hallway. "I told myself I was over it. That I was over you."

He reached out, his hand hovering over my cheek before he pressed it firmly, his thumb tracing my jaw with an intensity that contradicted his cold words. "But the second you looked at me, Sloane, the anger just... evaporated. I didn't even make it past your front door before I was yours again. God help me, I never even left."

What would you do if your first love, your best friend, and the only person who understood you just disappeared without a single word?

I spent years finding my own rhythm in a house full of loud brothers and baseball, with only my running shoes and my music for company. Until I met Liam. He was my garden, my secret, and my everything-before he vanished.

Six years later, I've moved to a new town, and there he is. Only, the sweet, attentive boy I remember is gone. He's the school's notorious heartbreaker now, and for some reason, he looks at me like I'm the enemy.

He thinks he can give me the cold shoulder and act like I'm a stranger? He's dead wrong. I'm not the quiet girl I used to be, and if he wants a war, I'm more than happy to give it to him.

The boy I loved is a stranger now, and I'm about to find out exactly why he's so desperate to make me regret ever knowing his name.
