Breaking eye contact on the fifty-yard line would've been smart. Instead, I saw him—pom-poms, perfect smile, and the only boy I've ever loved.

Eli

Football is my future, and nothing can shake me.

Until Wren Lewis shows up on the Spirit Squad.

My high school boyfriend.

The one I lost because I stayed silent when he needed me most.

Now he's back, flipping across my field, and I'll do anything to prove I've changed.

I've spent four years wishing I could undo that day.

I'll earn his trust back inch by inch.

Flowers, apologies, and maybe a kiss I've been starving for since our senior year of high school.

Wren

I swore I'd never forgive him.

One silence shattered us.

Then fate sticks us on the same sidelines, the same flights, the same hotel lobbies.

And he shows up with apologies I didn't ask for… and a smile I never forgot.

But Eli is relentless—bigger, steadier, and still looking at me like I'm his whole world.

I want to resist. I need to.

But one slow dance, one stolen touch, and my walls start to crumble.

I crave the man who held me like I was everything.
