And hopefully, this visit is for good…With some help from the residents of Pinegrove, JJ and Smithy will discover that sometimes, first love burns brightest.
Excerpts:
“I’ll try not to wallow about all this,” he muttered, gesturing with his good hand to his air cast and bandages. “But what I’ll really try is to not pressure you, JJ. I can’t lie and say I’m not happy you’re here. Hell, I’d gladly have another warehouse fall on me if it meant you’d be here in my kitchen having a nightly cup of tea.”
She scoffed, swatting the back of his hand. “Hush up.”
The corner of his lips quirked up, but he continued. “But you need to know, even if we’re not talking about it, I want you here. Not just here in Pinegrove, but here, in this house with me.” Jessie didn’t miss the tear that slid down his cheek, her own eyes misting over. “You’re still my best friend, JJ. You’re the first person I think about when good things happen, and you’re the only person I want by my side during the bad. I can’t pretend that you leaving, even if it’s for a wonderful opportunity, doesn’t gut me.” He swiped angrily at another tear and groaned. “I love you, okay? I’m simultaneously so proud of you, I want to rent a billboard and tell all of Pinegrove. But I know you could do amazing things anywhere, even here with our community. I wish you believed in yourself more.”
