I made plans. I followed the path. I fell in love. Then the world took her away from me. I swore to never love again, and I’ve done all I could to keep that vow. But life finds a way and I can’t stop this burning attraction with my best friend. Maddie stood by me when my world shattered. She deserves more than a broken man who promised to never love again.
