I couldn’t hide the smile on my face when I walked back inside the roadhouse to find Cody so he could drive us home. I didn’t want to stay at the bar without her and I was happy for the first time in a long time to be going home alone. I would have preferred she came home with me, today and forever, but I knew there would be a lot of tears and explanations before that happened.

If it happened. No… when it happened.

I had been thinking of what Josh had said all night and he was absolutely correct. I had taken the cowardly way out of my break up with her. I should have told her something—anything—to make her think it was me and not her. I pushed all my insecurities and pain onto her and the result had been years of misery for both of us.

She deserved to hear what little of the truth I could tell her so maybe she could forgive me. With the distance between us, emotionally and physically, I was worried about the next step, but I was determined to give her the peace she deserves. I hoped she would forgive me and give us another chance.

“You look happy.” Emily casually remarked as we were walking back to Cody’s car to head home. He had made himself scarce all night and I was curious to get his opinion on what I should do.

“I am happy. I don’t understand how she ended up in our gym but I think Cody may be right. It was fate that put her back in my path and I’ll move heaven and earth to have another shot at our forever.”

“What are you going to tell her about why we moved?” Emily asked, a slight tremor in her voice.

I turned around in the front seat and reached out to her, trying to give her the strength she needs in moments like this. The accident took so much from her and she was very private with who she told exactly what had happened. She took my hand in hers and blew out a breath, collecting her nerves.

“I’m going to tell her what you tell people. It isn’t anyone’s business the exact reason we left, only that we had to move. I’ll give her as much as I think she needs, but I will never tell your secrets, Emily. I promise. The only people who know are you and me and, for as long as you say, that’s the way it will stay.”

“Cody knows what happened.” She responded to my statement by acknowledging Cody was aware of the truth she tried so hard to hide.

“You told me after a few years of knowing you, and I still don’t know the details. They’re not my business to know and you never have to tell me if you don’t want to. I agree with your brother, let him tell her your version of the truth. I pray that someday you stop worrying people will find out and judge you or somehow look down on you.
