“He said what?!” Colleen screeches.

I sigh softly and lean back on my couch. It’s 11 pm. And I really should be sleeping by now, but one of my closest friends just got into town. The one and only downside of staying in your childhood town is that you have to watch all your friends move on and have different lives while you’re left behind.

But I adore my friends because they’ve never really made it feel like that. Colleen lives in Denver, but she comes back to the town regularly. Especially this year. Her twin brother just returned from active service in the U.S army. Returned might be too strong a word though. He was seriously injured. He had to spend the last few months recuperating. According to Colleen, he’s still in a wheelchair. His doctors are optimistic he’ll walk again, though, and his family is hopeful. I haven’t seen him at all. I would have visited him, but Colleen insisted he doesn’t want that. He’s been reclusive since the accident and angry. Not that I blame him. He has every right to be. I just hope he’s okay.

Talking about her brother led me to think about Lucas and the bomb he dropped yesterday. Or should I say bombs. I can’t believe he enlisted. And at the same time, it totally makes sense. I could see him as a soldier. He would have thrived. Leaving would have been such a hard decision for him.

“He said he came back for me,” I mumble, fighting a blush.

I’m not going to lie and say my heart didn’t do several backflips when I heard that. Lucas was always a good talker. When we were together, nearly everything he said made my heart race. But I’m not that girl anymore. I’m older, and I’m supposed to be wiser. I can’t fall for his bullshit again. I refuse to.

“That fucking-”

“Easy, Col,” I interrupt with a laugh, “No need to curse him out.”

My friend looks at me, her grayish-blue eyes intense. “You seem annoyingly calm about the fact that your ex who dumped you is back in town. And is apparently trying to make moves on you.”

“He’s not making moves on me,” I correct. “And what do you want me to do? Chase him out of town?”

I’m really interested in hearing what Colleen has to say, if I’m being honest. I can’t talk to my mom or my sister about this because I don’t want to distract them from wedding prep. But I also want to know what someone else thinks about all this because I swear my mind is about to explode. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Lucas since I left his house yesterday, which is annoying.

“I want you to be angry,” Colleen tells me.

“I am angry. But he’s already going through a lot. He has his daughter and the move, and I just- I feel bad for him, okay.”

Colleen shakes her head and sighs. “He’s good, I’ll give him that. Oh, my poor sweet friend. What am I going to do about you?”

“What are you talking about?” I laugh.

“What I’m saying is that Lucas still knows exactly what buttons to push when it comes to you.”

“He doesn’t,” I retort. “Trust me, I made it clear to him that I don’t want him in my life.”

“Maybe you did. But we both know a part of you has never really gotten over that man. And now that he’s back…”

“Lucas and I are over. We’ve been over for years,” I say through gritted teeth.

Colleen smiles warmly, “Okay, I’ll back off. After just one more question.”

“What?” I ask warily.

“Is he still hot?”

I let out a soft sigh, and Colleen immediately cackles.

“He’s still hot,” I confirm. My mind goes back to the sight of his blue eyes, tan skin, and the muscles on his arms and chest. Lucas grew up, and the boy of my dreams back then is now suddenly the man I have to stay far away from.

Unfortunately, I teach his daughter, which means, like it or not, we’ll have to see each other. Colleen has a pleased smile on her face that has my eyes narrowing suspiciously.

“One minute, you’re angry and ready to punch him in the face on my behalf, and then the next, you’re grinning like a Cheshire cat. What’s your deal?” I ask her.

“I might dislike him, but at the end of the day, I just want you to be happy,” she informs me. “The guy didn’t murder anyone. And if I remember correctly, he treated you really well when you were together. Your relationship was perfect. What he did was shitty, but if he’s smart and really wants you back, he’ll grovel, and he’ll grovel well! Plus, it’s not every day a hot bachelor moves into Crested Springs. You need to take advantage of that, Jenny. Even if it is your ex.”

I scowl. “Not happening.”

“We’ll see,” Colleen says as if it’s already a conclusion.

The conversation shifts to other topics like my sister’s wedding, which is slowly coming together. It’s currently the talk of the town, and everyone is excited to attend. Weddings usually don’t happen this close to Christmas. Suddenly, it’s the most wonderful time of the year for several reasons.
