David Bourdon isn't over his ex.

He misses their old life. He misses Ann-Marie's laugh, her sultry voice, the way she swears like a sailor.

He had good reasons for leaving her. She can do better than him. He's messed up; she's not.

But now Ann-Marie wants him back. On one condition: he has to be honest with her, for the very first time. About what he likes. What he wants her to do to him.

He thought leaving her took all the courage he had. He was wrong.
