Trusting the Ex

Drew Hayes just showed up on my doorstep.

My brother’s best friend.

The love of my life. My ex.

He gave me the only thing I’ve ever wanted, his heart.

Only to dump me six months later.

Five years have passed and I’m married now.

But when I tell him to leave, he does the opposite.

He storms into my life, tears down my walls, and 

demands the one thing I won’t ever give him again.

My love.

He’s my past.

I can never trust him, not after he destroyed me.

Yet every time I look into his eyes, I see my future.
