I was eighteen, he was thirty-one.
We were worlds apart. But right next door.
The temptations were too strong.
-
My future is a big "what if" at the moment and I’m fine with that.
For the most part.
When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me.
When he asks me to nanny his kid, it’s a great way to make some extra money.
It’s impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son.
There’s a big problem though.
I’m eighteen. He’s thirty-one.
Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn’t part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them.

It took me a while to learn that sometimes no matter how much, or how hard you love someone, or something, you have to let them go. You can’t save a sinking ship.
Sometimes, you have someone else you have to be strong for, who needs you more.
You make a choice.
A devastating one.
And you hope, maybe one day, they’ll come back to you.

When I met Thayer Holmes, I had no idea how much he would single-handedly change my life.
Our journey hasn’t been an easy one, but it has been ours.
We’ve fought through the impossible and come out stronger because of it.
But happily-ever-after isn’t a destination. It’s a never-ending road trip with bumps along the way.
Some bumps are bigger than others, but none of it matters as long as we have each other, right?
