He was my brother's best friend... but my brother was never the problem. Everything else was. Sloan Have you ever felt such a pull to one person that you cannot control yourself around them? Just one mention of their name and a fire ignites deep within? Well I, Sloan Barton, had that connection... with my brother's best friend. You see, I was in love with Wesley King long before I ever knew what love was. Always tagging along, admiring him from afar. Until one day, he loved me back. Except I found out he wasn't mine first and because of that, I had no choice but to let him go. Although I tried desperately and failed to fight the pull between us over the years, that wouldn't be the last time we had to walk away from each other. Wes I'll never forget the moment I realized the sweet kid I grew up with had turned into the girl I couldn't stop thinking about. I fell hard. Suddenly, she became all my hopes and dreams. Until life pulled us in different directions. They say timing is everything, so when I see the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on sitting in my bar... I take that as my sign. Maybe our stars have finally aligned.
