I always said I wouldn’t be the settling-down type—wild at heart, always chasing the next thrill. Everything changed the day Lyric came storming back into my life like a hurricane—sudden, intense, and impossible to ignore.
We were kids when she left, her parents packing up their house to moved for her father’s job. We promised we’d stay in touch, and for a while, we did.
Then, without warning, the calls and letters stopped.
I told myself to move on, to bury the past, and never look back, making a promise of my own. To never let anyone in like that again.
Now, she’s here, living in the same house, and suddenly, everything I thought I wanted doesnt feel the same anymore.
