Show Me You Remember Special Edition

RoweI’d convinced myself she was never coming back. Not after I destroyed my life defending her and was left to live alone in the fallout. I made my peace with that years ago, when I learned Tilly Whittman was gone for good. Yet here she is, standing in my barn again and brushing down my horses like the last decade of silence never happened. I shouldn’t care that she’s here, or be thinking about what she’d written to me in that final letter. But every time she opens her mouth, it’s like she’s trying to pick a fight with the version of me that went to prison for something I’d do again in a heartbeat. She’s here on my land with her boots planted, chin high, and curved nails picking at old wounds like she’s trying to see if I’ll bleed.And I will. I always did when it came to my best friend’s sister.TillyI swore I was done with Oak Point. But when my life falls apart for the second time, I crawl back to the only place that might still want me. My home. The place I lost myself. Now I’m grooming horses at Painted Sky and trying not to rip the head off the man who’s been pretending I don’t exist since the day I showed up. Rowe Carrigan. The cowboy who went to prison and came out angrier than the broncs he rides.We were never together. Not really. Yet what happened between us left a scar I can’t seem to stop touching.He thinks I’m trouble and he’s right.  Because the longer I stay, the harder it is to ignore the weight of the past, or how badly I still want the one man I was never supposed to have.
