I've loved Laura Gustafson since the moment I saw her twelve years ago. I've waited, I've been patient, and when she finally let me in on New Year's Eve, I thought we were starting our forever. Instead, she ran. Again. I know what we have is real—but how do I prove I'm not like the people who hurt her before?

Levi walked into the bar and settled into my heart before I even realized it was happening. But loving someone that deeply? Terrifying. I've been burned enough times to know better than to trust forever. So when I finally gave in on New Year's Eve, I panicked by morning and pushed him away.

Now we're trying again—slowly, carefully, with all the messy feelings I've spent years avoiding. And this time, there's no running. Because nine months from now, ready or not, Levi and I are going to be connected for the rest of our lives.
