That
moment your life changes.
That
moment that changes your life.
That
moment you love someone more than you love yourself.
That
was the moment we gave our son up for adoption and the moment I was left bare.
A wide-open space that would forever be empty.
There
are moments that define you as a person, moments that prove just how strong you
are, moments you push yourself to keep going forward when all you really want
to do is give up. It was in one of those moments when I reached out and found
him waiting for me.
When
Shelby Calder left home fifteen years ago, she never planned on returning to
the Alaskan town she left behind. But after the death of her grandfather and a
bitter divorce, she hopes going home will be a fresh start for her and her
ten-year-old son.
Zach
Watters has made a lot of mistakes in his life. But when he sees Shelby Calder,
looking more beautiful than ever, standing outside her childhood home, he
promises himself that letting her go won't be a mistake he ever makes again.
Some
things never change and love is one of them.
My Review
Excerpt
“Then why did you
marry her?” I ask, wondering if I’m really ready to go there with him, but it’s
too late to change my mind. The question is out, and as much as I don’t want to
know the answer, I need to know the
answer.
“I wanted my kids to
have what I didn’t. I believed that, with time, we could find a way to be
happy.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t
talk about this,” I say, changing my mind as nausea and jealousy turn my
stomach.
“You loved your ex,
baby. I know you did. I didn’t have that. I wanted it but never had it with her
or anyone else since you.”
“Please stop.” Feeling
tears burn the back of my eyes for him, I close them tight. Max and I were
happy and in love in the beginning, and I hate knowing Zach never had that… the
kids didn’t see or feel that.
“I wish my past didn’t
hurt you so much. I’m sorry for hurting you the way I have. If I could take
your pain away, I would.” He gathers me against him and tucks my head under his
chin.
“As sad as it makes me,
I wish you would have had that with her or someone else,” I say, and his arms
tighten so much that my lungs compress.
“I don’t,” he growls.
“What?” I wheeze, and
he loosens his grip just enough for me to take a breath.
“I don’t want to think
about what would have happened if I had been with her or someone else when you
came back. I don’t want to face that demon inside of me that knows what I would
have done.”
“Zach—”
“I’ve been in love
with you for almost eighteen years. I carried your missing pieces around inside
me for that long, Shelby. I know it would have made me an asshole, but there is
only one you. You’re the only place I’ve ever called home.” His voice is thick
with emotion, and that wound inside of me fills up a little bit more. I hate
his words, but a part of me is relieved he feels that way, that he feels so
deeply for me.
“There’s been a wide
open space inside me since we placed Samuel and I left you behind. But, from
the moment I came back, it’s slowly been filling up.”
He goes quiet at my
words. Several moments pass before he speaks again. “One day, that space will
be full. I swear, with everything I have in me, I will make sure it’s
overflowing and that you never feel empty again.”
