I never planned on coming home.
Never say never.
Katie Smith had forever written all over her.
I knew better than to touch her.
I just couldn’t stop myself.
I had plans, goals, and a life that didn’t include Macon, Texas.
What do you do when what you want clashes with what you love?
You either let it tear you apart, or you make a decision.
Now, seven years later, I have regrets—none as big as walking away from Katie.
But life moves on and she’s getting ready to marry my brother.
I don’t like it. There’s a pain inside me that I can’t escape, but there’s nothing I can do.
Then, I learn my decision had consequences.
Like a son I never knew was mine.
