Mom didn’t say much to me on the phone, only stressing that I had to come to Tampa as soon as I could. My initial instinct was to say no, but she sounded really upset, which worried me more than I wanted to admit. She’d kept up her end of the bargain, never once mentioning Kason, so if she’s breaking that promise, something must be really bad.

Micah reaches over the console and takes my anxious hand in his as we drive along Alligator Alley. “What has you so jittery?”

I look at my future and see no sign of tension on his face as he drives us back to Tampa. When I hung up the phone with my mom this morning, I hopped online to find all the flights for the day were sold out, so we decided to hop in the car. “It’s just weird,” I tell him honestly. It’s been so long since I’ve even heard his name, and now all I can think about is what could be so bad that my mom needs me to step in. “I wonder how much he’s changed.”

“I’m sure a lot, babe. It’s been nearly four years since you’ve seen him.” He gives my hand a little squeeze. “Is that what you’re nervous about? Seeing him again?”

“Kind of.” I look down at my hand he’s holding and admire the platinum promise of his love that’s wrapped around my finger. It’s two karats of sparkling brilliance that holds the sentiment of his affections that brought me back to life. When I asked my mother to make that promise to me, it was because I didn’t trust myself not to run back to Kason. I needed to cut him out of my life as much as I possibly could. But even today, he still holds a tender spot in my heart. He always will. He was my first love, and that’s never going to change.

I’ve moved on, though. I learned to love again, and I’m planning a life with Micah. He’s an easy man to love, with no baggage or issues. He’s uncomplicated and has an ungodly amount of strength to carry the weight of my soul. I just can’t help but wonder what it’s going to be like to come face to face with my past.

This drive does nothing but allow my mind to wander back to when I used to spy on Kason from my bedroom window while he cleaned the pool. Resting my head against the window, memories of our time together that I locked away flit through my head.

“It’s understandable that you’d be a little anxious,” Micah reassures.

I give him a smile, so thankful of his understanding. We’ve been together much longer than what Kason and I had been. Micah knows me through and through. I’ve exposed so much to him in a way I wasn’t prepared to do when I was with Kason.

“You don’t think it’s silly? My being nervous to see my old high school boyfriend?”

“With the way you two broke up and left things .
