She agreed to a blind date after months of pressure from her friends. New city, new job, new chances… why not?
He sounded charming in the messages.
Mature. Confident. Funny.

Mr. Carter.
Her college instructor from 7 years ago.
The man who once gave her a failing grade…
The man she once had a secret crush on.
Their eyes locked.
He smiled.
“You haven’t changed at all,” he said.
Was it a coincidence… or something else?
What started as an awkward reunion quickly turned into the most intense conversation of her life.
But then he revealed why he really agreed to the date.
And her entire world flipped.
