I left Lakeside, Montana, heartbroken and lost with no desire to ever return. But life had other plans.
Moving back wasn't what I wanted to do, but I'd do anything for my daughter Emmy. Including put myself in the path of Sadie Jones. My daughter's new dance teacher.
The reason my heart was never fully opened to another was because it's always belonged to her.
When I watched Reed Sanders drive away from Lakeside, I knew my heart would never recover. He was meant for more than what this town could offer him. Than what I could offer him.
I tried to warn him to stay away from me, but he refused to listen. If only he would have, maybe I wouldn't feel so broken.
The heart is mysterious. It can be closed off and broken at the same time. It can hold room for more than one person. And unfortunately, sometimes it takes danger lurking around the corner to make it choose a side.
All I can say is that I hope one day I finally hear the words . . . I'm Yours.
