"You don't know what it's like."
"What?"

"Being the one guy who didn't get the girl."

Maybe this makes me a dick, but life was easier when all the people around me weren't enjoying their happily ever afters. I'm surrounded by couples—getting married, starting families. I'm the guy left behind.

And then Sadie walks into my life.

I'm not supposed to want her. But she awakens something inside me I thought was dead and gone. I was numb, and she makes me feel again.

She's running from her past, but I won't let it catch her. I'll protect her from whatever she left behind. She gave me a reason to care; I want to give her a reason to trust. Maybe even a reason to love.
