She was impossible to forget.

Looking at those big blue eyes that were staring at him with recognition and horror, he felt memories slam into him.

He hadn’t seen her since he was sixteen, when she’d been his persistent shadow. The bane of his existence. “Chloe? What are you doing here?”

She blushed. “I—I thought you were in the military. Your family said—”

Apparently her memories of him weren’t that happy, either. “I’ve been back a couple days. They were expecting me.”

He gaped. “Months?” he repeated, hoping he’d heard her wrong.

She nodded as she grabbed her suitcase. “Well...I guess I’d better get settled.”

Of all people to show up while he was trying to regain a sense of peace and figure out how to start his life over!

As he watched her enter the cabin, he couldn’t help feeling as if he were wavering on a fragile precipice with unknown, dangerous water below. Blue water the same color as Chloe’s eyes.
