I Love You, Baby by matsku

Cassandra Nolan is known as the daughter of her ridiculously wealthy father, a surprisingly successful business owner, and the most trusting person alive. What else is new? At first glance, Sam Parkins is the opposite of Cassandra. He seems judgemental, pessimistic, and intelligent enough to break Cassandra in half, but when you get to know him better, he is the sweetest guy there is. Or that's how Cassandra remembers him from high school. When they meet again after seven years, Cassandra realizes she should get her memories checked because Sam Parkins has changed, and not necessarily for the better. Fortunately, neither has time for the other: they have their own lives, and it isn't like they would want to be in each other's lives after everything that happened. However nostalgic it could be, there's absolutely nothing that would bring Cassandra and Sam together again. If Cassandra's new friendship with Sam's girlfriend doesn't count.
