EBOOK
About
Lance, a college senior studying teaching and psychology, is still haunted by the loss of Andi,
the love he once thought would last forever. Though he dates other women, none match the
memory of her, and he hides his lingering ache behind hard work and quick humor.
When he meets Jenny, a sharp-witted and guarded young woman who works in the dormitory
cafeteria, Lance is drawn to her mystery. Their connection begins with teasing banter and
hesitant walks across campus, slowly deepening into something more. Yet Jenny's fear of
vulnerability keeps her retreating whenever they grow close, leaving Lance to question whether
she will ever let her heart open.
A summer job in the Colorado mountains gives Lance time to reflect, but Jenny's silence while
he is away only sharpens his confusion. Back on campus, she surprises him by reappearing in his
life, igniting a push and pull that tests them both. Through moments of warmth and painful
distance, Lance struggles to understand whether Jenny's feelings can ever match his own.
Years later, he finds himself ready to build a steady future with Katie, whose openness and quiet
strength offer the stability he has long sought. But as he plans the next step, doubts linger. Will
Katie accept his proposal? Has Lance truly left Jenny in the past, or could unspoken feelings
surface before it's too late?
