I never meant to come back here.

Home.

My military career gave me the escape I needed from this place—and my mistakes.

Now I have to face them.

And the girl I left behind.

I’ve missed her every day that I’ve been gone, but I never knew just how much I was leaving behind.

She’s not all I turned my back on.

She kept a secret from me.

A baby who isn’t a baby anymore.

He’s a grown boy with the same love for adventure as his father.

But his mother?

She may never forgive me, and I can’t blame her.

Love like this only comes around once in a lifetime.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Even me.

Maybe.

For them, I have to take my last shot.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
