Summary
After a painful breakup over a decade ago, you never expected to see Bob again, especially not as a customer at the coffee shop where you work. The Bob you knew was consumed by addiction, haunted by a violent childhood, and you refused to watch him destroy himself.
Now, you’re brought face-to-face again, the chemistry between you simmering under layers of hurt and betrayal. Bob is sober and desperate for answers. He can’t remember the relationship beyond bits and pieces, not even the moments where everything started to fall apart.
You never thought you’d have to relive that pain again, but when Bob asks, you finally tell him the truth. But under three conditions: he has to listen to the whole story, be honest about what happened to him, and once it’s done, you never have to see him again.
Some connections don’t fade with time, and walking away again may not be as simple as it once was.
