Brittany had barely made the deadline, clicking send at eleven fifty-nine and staring at her computer in awe that she’d actually done it. Ronan had answered every question she’d asked, though he’d purposely made the answers short and so politically correct she rolled her eyes while reading and half-expected him to answer something with “all I really want is world peace.”

Hours at the computer hadn’t helped her mood, so when she finished, she started sifting through her Bible and followed that up with a nap and some Netflix.

Now she had an hour before she was supposed to meet Oliver, which meant she needed to leave in a few minutes if she was going to make it on time.

Brittany smiled down at the worn brown leather of the book, remembering the day her mom had tossed it into the suitcase and told her that she was never alone.

It felt like a different life.

A different girl.

One who had stars in her eyes and excitement in her blood. One who truly believed that the world was a good place if you just saw past the bad.

And now?

Now, she was jaded, smarter, wiser.

And tired.

So very tired.

She flipped to the table of contents and then just started thumbing through the different chapters. Pieces of her life were held in this Bible.

Moments.

Pictures.

She turned to the last page and let out a little gasp. Two tiny inked footprints stared back at her. She covered her mouth with her hands as fresh tears stung her eyes.

Almost afraid to touch the faded ink, her hands shook as she picked up the small piece of paper and stared down at it.

Born August 23, 2004.

No name.

Nothing but two tiny feet that fit into the same worn Bible that held her own footprints from her birth.

“I’m so sorry.” Her body shook as she cried over the Bible and clung to that piece of paper, holding it to her chest. “I was scared, and I couldn’t take care of you. I didn’t know what to do.”

She took a calming breath and looked down. The Bible had opened up to a new page, one that held the paper Ronan had given back to her.

The one that had all of the girls’ signatures on it, including Danica’s. He’d given his heart back as if she’d never held it in the first place. And next to that, red rose petals that were so delicate, she was afraid to touch them.

How long had it been since she’d opened the Bible? Since she’d faced her past? However raw and painful it was.

Brittany couldn’t remember. She’d been so busy with the magazine, but she still went to church, still prayed, still tried to be a good person.

But she’d moved on.

Or so she’d thought.

Because holding these pieces of her past proved one thing—she’d been standing still for over sixteen years.

How did Oliver even know that about her?

About her past?

She swiped the tears from her cheeks and tucked the piece of paper into her purse, not really sure why. It wasn’t like she was in love with Oliver, like she could give it to him now.
