Shot in the Dark

He swore he would never love again.
She loves him anyway.

I've loved Ronan Huntley since I was twelve years old. Back then, I was too young for him. The six-year difference between us had seemed insurmountable at the time. But I grew up, and my feelings for him also grew.

Ever since he was a teenager, Ronan swore he would never fall in love. Never marry. Never start a family. I couldn't blame him for feeling that way. His past was traumatic, and he had good reason to guard his heart. But after a few too many drinks at Lily and Evan's wedding, he'd captured a big part of my heart, too, and I knew I would never get it back.

I've never stopped loving Ronan and after that night with him, I'm starting to suspect that maybe he loves me too.
