He was my first everything-first love, first heartbreak, first boy who promised forever.
I've spent the last eight years becoming exactly who I wanted to be.
Confident, successful, and unapologetically ambitious.
Gone is the boy who kissed me in a field of daisies and promised to follow me to college.
In his place?
A sharp-suited negotiator with a Harvard law degree, the firm's newest star hire...and my direct competition for the junior counsel position I've been gunning for.
Now we're stuck working late nights together, sparring over strategy, avoiding the landmines of our past, and pretending the tension simmering between us isn't about to explode.
I left Jackson behind once to chase the future we planned.
