saying anything. This mysterious and sexy man keeps pulling me in even though I’m trying to back away.
    “You okay?” He nods. “It’s getting late and I have so much to do tomorrow. I’m gonna head to bed. You should too.”
    “Yeah I will soon,” he smiles. “It was fun getting to know you.”
    I slowly get up still holding his hand. He’s not letting go and neither am I. Should I break our contact? “Yeah it was fun even though I think you cheated,” I wink letting his hand go. Something drops in my stomach and I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. This isn’t good. “Night.”
    “Sweet dreams Karly.”
    I turn around and head to my room. When I get in bed I feel a piece of paper under my pillow. It’s from Neil.
    Don’t be afraid to fall in love. Be stupid. Be crazy. Live your life to the fullest. This is only the beginning Karly Lynn Erikson. Stop holding back and let go of your fears. You only live once so make the most of it. Even if I’m thousands of miles away I’m still right next to you.
    I smile while reading his note to me. Neil always has the best things to say. The tears fill my eyes, thinking about him and hoping he finds the answers he needs. “Thanks Neil,” I whisper before closing my eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

Chapter 4

    Talking openly about Jamie with Karly brings back the shitty times.
    Jamie and I had that spark when we first met. I thought she was the one. We talked about our future and what we wanted. After high school, Jamie and I moved to New York City and attended Columbia. We were both majoring in business-me with accounting and she with management. Things were great and we fell in love with the city. I asked her to marry me the night before our graduation in Times Square. It was a memorable night and I thought we’d be together until the end.
    The day we graduated I got a phone call about my application with Stanley & Walker offering me the job of a lifetime. I immediately took it without talking to Jamie-mistake number one. She was happy for me but the look of disappointment of moving back to North Carolina was all over her face.
    When we got back to North Carolina, I started at the accounting firm and she worked at her sister’s spa. Things were great. We got married the following year and she found out she was pregnant with Emma a few months after. However, something was off. I should’ve seen it. Jamie wasn’t happy and I tried to do everything I could to get that smile back on her face. Nothing worked. The distance between us was evident. Maybe I was too blind at the time to notice.
    Emma was born on July 23, 2006 at nine fifty five in the morning. She weighed six pounds and six ounces. It was the best birthday present I have received and I was thankful for Emma. A few days later we were back home and that’s when Jamie decided she didn’t want this life, and left us. After almost a year of silence, I took an indefinite leave from the firm and chased after Jamie.
    Leaning against the couch I will myse lf to stop thinking about her. There’s nothing I could’ve done to make it work. Relationships and marriages shouldn’t be about work; it should be about love and making each other happy. Damn I sound like a fucking woman.
    Blue green eyes flood my mind . What the hell is wrong with me? My second night back home and I’m already opening up to this girl and thinking about her. Shaking my head I walk out of the living room and head towards my room. Meeting Karly and getting to know her isn’t part of my plan, but I guess life has something else lined up for me and I’m just not sure if I’m ready for that. Yet a part of me is ready for something new. I’m drawn to her. She makes me smile and laugh. She’s pure. Innocent. She’s someone that shouldn’t be tainted by my fuckedupness. I have too much baggage and this girl doesn’t deserve pain. She’s the type that wants forever with love and a happily ever after. I’m not sure
