The One Who Changed Me

<p><strong>A chance meeting at a bar on the way home. The girl I've loved since high school. A one-night stand that changed everything.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Marissa Flores is the girl I wanted to spend forever with but there was only one problem - she belonged to someone else. Instead of growing a set and putting my heart on the line I left town after graduation without saying a word.</p><p><br></p><p>Choosing to bury my feelings time passed but the ache in my heart only grew stronger with each passing day.</p><p><br></p><p>When my mom called telling me about my father's stroke I prepared my heart to face the woman I've spent most of my life loving - bracing for the pain of seeing her with another man's ring on her finger.</p><p><br></p><p>Imagine my surprise when I stop at a random bar and find her sitting on a stool. Alone. No ring in sight and no idea who the hell I am.</p><p><br></p><p>She agrees to spend one night with me. No strings attached. Tomorrow she plans on forgetting my name.</p><p><br></p><p>Too bad for her I don't plan on ever letting her go.</p>
