Dandelion Wishes Vicki Connellan

How many times did you let someone break your heart before you stopped forgiving them?

How many times did you let yourself hope for things to change, before you gave up and moved on?

How long do you keep loving someone after they were gone?

Marnie had lost people she loved, some weren't able to come back, others, one in particular, well, he stayed away by choice, and that hurt. It hurt every day, even six years on. It still hurt. Nevertheless, facing the man again was inevitable. Sharing her secret with him was inevitable. Still loving the man who had captured her heart since the day they met, that was inevitable too, after all, the heart wants what the heart wants. But forgiving Reed Tucker for walking out of her life and not looking back, well, that was another story. Marnie might still be in love with her childhood sweetheart, but that meant nothing if she couldn't trust the man, or forgive him, and right now, she could do neither of those things.

There hadn't been a day go by in the past six years where Reed Tucker hadn't thought about Marnie. In the beginning, he missed her like crazy, now, all he did was wonder if she would ever forgive him for cutting her and his father out of his life. He doubted it. Marnie had always been strong willed, and if she thought you'd wronged her, then you had little chance of a future with her in it, and boy had he wronged her. Now, six years on, Reed had to face the woman he loved, and own up to the actions of his past. The only thing was, would he be able to walk away again, especially once he discovered the secret his father and Marnie had kept from him all these years.
