The Hang Up

Lena

Holden James was my everything—my first love, my future, or so I thought.

When he left after our high school graduation, he shattered my heart, and I promised myself I’d never look back.

Now, he’s returned to Lilac Harbor, acting like he can waltz back into my life as if nothing happened.

He says he can explain, but I won’t listen.

I’m stronger now, smarter. I’m not the girl who once believed in forever with him.

He broke me once, and I’ll be damned if I let him do it again.



Holden

Leaving Lena behind was the hardest decision of my life, but I did it for her.

Now that I’m back in Lilac Harbor, I’m ready to make things right.

Lena doesn’t trust me, doesn’t even want to look at me, and I know that winning her back won’t be easy.

But I didn’t come back for easy.

I came back for her, and I’ll do whatever it takes to show her that the love we shared isn’t over.

I’ve waited years for this second chance, and I won’t let her slip away without a fight.
