We drive 20 minutes outside of Richland, close to where my Uncle Sullivan lives. It’s mostly rural land out this way. I love peering out the window with the wind blowing in my hair while Luke drives. It reminds me of all those days spent in his truck back in high school. Then, he would have one hand on my thigh as some country singer sung about missing his truck, dog, or woman. Now, we have to be content with stolen glances at each other out the corner of our eyes as the country landscape slips pass us.

We finally pull up to a sprawling ranch house. A black picket fence runs the perimeter of the large yard. Across from the house is a vacant lot with the same black fencing. Off to the side of the house tucked further back is a large recently renovated barn painted brick red.

I step out of Luke’s truck and he’s already at my side helping me down. My eyes run over the beautiful home. A manicured yard that will be a task to maintain. A huge covered porch that runs the entire length of the house. From the front of the house, it looks small, like a typical farmhouse. However, looking at the side you can tell just how big this place is.

“What do you think?” Luke asks me as we both approach the same realtor from yesterday.

“Luke, it’s…..” I don’t have the words.

When Luke and I were planning our lives out together, this is the home that we talked about living in. From the porch, to the rocking chairs sitting on the porch. It was perfect. A dream come true, I just wasn’t starring in this dream.

“It’s perfect for you.” I say as the realization dawns on me.

“Wait until you see the inside.” He grabs my hand and tugs me up the steps.

“I knew this one would be the one.” The realtor smirks.

The front door opens to a gorgeous open floor plan. Light hard wood is beneath me. Vaulted ceilings are above me, a cool muted yellow coat the walls. Natural lights flood the house through the many front windows. This house is truly a dream come true. The kitchen opens up to the family room with the attached breakfast nook. A covered patio can be seen from the patio window. A built in outdoor kitchen with a fire pit is the beautiful backdrop to the massive back yard.

“It’s everything you ever wanted.”

“Not everything.”

I felt his presence at my back before his words brushed across my neck. He’s so close I can feel the heat radiating off his body. His woodsy and musk smell surrounding me the way I wish his arms would.

His words yank at my heart as if there is rope wrapped around the organ that he tugs whenever he is near.

I ignore his words and what I hope the meaning of them are. Luke and I can never be again. Despite how I feel about him and how much I still love him, Peyton is my biggest priority.
