Dusty still couldn’t believe his eyes. After all these years, Colette was sitting on the front porch swing beside him. Just like old times. More than one evening found them cuddled together as they rocked peacefully, whispering endearments and sweet nothings in one another’s ears. Often, they would have to dash upstairs to his bedroom before they ended up naked and in a more than compromising position on the front porch for everyone to see.

Memories and feelings assailed him. All good, happy, and mixed with some pretty erotic nights. He felt eighteen again. His problems fell away as he absorbed the thrill of being around the one woman he loved enough to almost marry.

“You look more beautiful than ever. Where have you been these past years?” After she sent him a breakup letter, she’d basically disappeared. He’d asked around when he returned from Afghanistan, but no one seemed to know where she’d gotten off to.

“All over.” She grinned up at him as she rested her hand on his thigh. “Traveled the world for a while before I realized money couldn’t buy happiness.”

He frowned. “You got married.”

“And divorced.” She looked down as he covered her hand with his. “I thought I needed something more, something exciting.” Her chin lifted and she met his gaze. “Turns out I’d walked off and left the best thing that had ever happened to me.”

“Colette—”

“Let me finish, please?” She blew out a breath. “It took me a while to see my mistake. I heard you’d moved on and figured you had your own family by now. When I learned you were back at the ranch and still single, I couldn’t believe my lucky stars. I thought…”

“What?”

“I hoped you still felt for me like I still feel for you.”

Dusty froze. How many times had he thought of Colette over the years? Hundreds? He’d forgiven her for moving on, not able to wait the long years for him to return from war. If he returned at all. Not every woman could be attached to a soldier and their path wasn’t easy. He understood this and realized Colette needed a man at home, someone she loved and could count on being there. Sadly, she apparently didn’t find what she needed in her ex.

His hopes leaped quelling the soft nagging voice in the back of his mind. Colette had returned to him. She wanted him, needed him, and he wasn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth. He’d been head over heels for her before he left for war and evidently the feelings hadn’t changed much over time. Yet, he couldn’t seem to voice the sentiment. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her and sealed his lips over hers.

She rested her head on his shoulder and he sighed in contentment. Long ago, he envisioned years of sitting on this comfortable porch swing, looking out over the land, and living their lives together. The dream dissipated with the Dear John letter he’d received.

Now, he had one more chance. Colette wanted him and his old fantasy resurged.
