FOURTEEN

Maren

I felt like I was living in a dream, and I was terrified.

Afraid that I’d wake up and worried it would end.

For years, I’d wished and hoped that I’d get a second chance with Magnus, that he’d take me back. Never in a million years did I ever believe that I’d actually get what I’d been praying for.

I wanted him back for so long, and I didn’t think he’d ever give me a second look.

Even I didn’t believe I deserved the time of day.

But Magnus was different. He gave me his time and so much more.

The last two days had left me feeling quite the opposite of what I felt after he brought me home from our dinner date. When Magnus made no move to kiss me that night or even call me the next day, I grew frustrated. More than that, I was hurt. And my track record had proven in the worst way possible that when I was hurt, I got angry. It was the only thing I could think to do to protect myself.

Of course, Magnus showed up with doughnuts and didn’t let my sour mood deter him. If anything, I was convinced he was enjoying seeing me in such a state. Deep down, I didn’t believe that Magnus wanted to see me hurt—he certainly wasn’t getting any enjoyment out of that—but there was no question that he was amused by my failed attempt to stay mad at him that morning.

Admittedly, I had been afraid that it was all part of a bigger scheme. But when I shared that notion with him, when I revealed that I thought he was out for revenge, the reaction he had told me everything I needed to know.

Magnus wasn’t that guy.

He would never be that guy.

And now, he’d taken me out for the most wonderful day I’d had in years and told me he wanted us to get back what we had. I could have been content with just going out tubing down the river, enjoying the sunshine and the quality time with him after all these years.

Apparently, I was going to get so much more than that. But I’d have been lying if I said I wasn’t worried. It seemed far too easy.

That was the reason I felt like I’d been living in a dream.

Because on some level, I didn’t think I deserved the opportunity for a second chance with Magnus, and I was getting it anyway. Maybe it was only happening again just so I could have it all ripped away from me, so I’d know what I’d put Magnus through fifteen years ago.

Despite my worries, there wasn’t a chance I was going to risk letting him go. I was going to do whatever I had to do to latch on to him, to work toward getting back what we lost, and to rebuild the love we used to have between us.

For that reason, I wasn’t quite ready for him to end our day together. We’d just pulled up at my house, and Magnus had rounded his truck to meet me on my side.
