IтАЩm trying to picture him, way back when.
But how can I?
All I see now is the Army Ranger heтАЩs become.
Intoxicating smile. Sculpted arms. To-die-for eight-pack. And enough medals on his uniform to set off airport security from a mile away.
He doesnтАЩt resemble the kid who shared my tree house with me, along with every perfect memory of my childhood.
He protected meтАФlong before he protected our country.
And he knows it all. Every hope and dream in my heart. Every vulnerability I hide from everyone but him. Every secretтАж
Except one.
One tiny lie that IтАЩm discovering I want desperately to be the truth. Because heтАЩs not the only one whoтАЩs changed since we were ten.
But I canтАЩt risk a friendship thatтАЩs lasted eighteen yearsтАФeven when his lips are so close that IтАЩm wondering if heтАЩll finally kiss meтАж
тАжor kiss me not.
