A brand-new stand-alone from Friendship, Texas, featuring everyone's favorite awkward baker and the one that got away.

I looked up, and standing there was my ex-boyfriend Jordan Webber. Maybe, ex-boyfriend wasn't the right word. Maybe, the boy who I dated for almost two years. Then, he graduated early, leaving for art school in New York.

He wanted me to come with him, but what future did I have in New York? My parents weren’t paying for me to go to school unless it was a state school with a real degree, and all I ever wanted was to do photography. So, the portrait studio worked for the time-being until I realized I really needed to get out of the house and took the part-time job at the bakery.

Between my parents’ divorce, work, and trying to get over my breakup, I was basically a hot mess the first two years after high school. Joey came in at the right time as a distraction, followed by the job at the bakery. But I still never forgot about the one that got away.

I hadn't seen Jordan in over four years, and there he was, standing there with a hand on one of the boxes and his blue eyes wide open like he'd just seen a ghost.

"Abbey Dillinger?" he asked, it wasn't so much of a question as it was a breathless statement.

I hated him for leaving me. He could have gone to art school in Dallas. He could have stayed if he really did love me. I should have hated him. But seeing him, standing in front of me, I couldn’t hate him. The past four years had been very good to him.
