Oh no! He’s coming over, waving as if he’s glad to see her and there’s no place to hide, no place to run. Aimee has a secret. Something she never told her high school sweetheart twenty years ago. She left him abruptly, leaving town with her parents and breaking all ties with him. Now, he’s walking toward her with a smile on his face as if nothing had ever happened – as if they were just two friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while. How could she face him? How could she sit there and look into his face and not see the pain of all those broken promises? When she sees him again all the old emotions come flooding back but she’s determined to stay away from him, convinced he’ll hate her when he finds out what she did. But fate has a way of taking control and Aimee can't escape the past.
