Fantasy. How
I ended up with NFL player Drew Callahan, the guy every woman wants, is beyond
my wildest dreams. All I know is that once he chose me as his one and only, I
sure wasn’t looking back. I had past wounds and he showed patience and
concern—even accepting responsibility for my messed-up kid brother. Now, yet
again, he's found a way to blow my mind: an exotic wedding and honeymoon miles
and miles away from home. What else could a girl ever ask for?
Reality. Except
now the honeymoon’s over. Drew's football schedule takes him on the road
constantly, while I need to stay put and look after my brother until he
finishes high school—because God knows our sorry excuse for a mother won’t. I
know Drew loves me with all his heart, and I’ll always be over the moon about
him. This just isn’t how I imagined life as newlyweds . . . dealing with the
distance, missing him constantly. But we’ve gone through hard times before. We
can get through this, too, right? We’re Drew and Fable, together forever. At
least I hope so. . .
EXCERPT
“We should check out Ocean Avenue tomorrow,”
Drew whispers close to my ear, amusement tingeing his deep voice.
“What? Are you serious?” Even though I’ve come to
terms with being here, it doesn’t mean I want to linger and make it a serious
vacation. Besides, Drew needs to get back home so he can resume practice.
“Well yeah, remember the spot where we kissed?” His
eyes are warm as they search my face, filled with so much love I feel my heart
swell.
“Yes,” I whisper achingly. “Of course I remember.”
“I want to go back there.” He tucks a strand of
hair behind my ear, his index finger lingering on my skin. “I want to kiss you
again in that little alley and remember how wet we were from the rain. How nervous
I was. I was scared you might reject me.”
I’d felt the same way. We’d dealt with much of the
same feelings and fears and hadn’t even known it.
“I want to take you to that store where you got the
dress that just about killed me and buy you whatever you want,” he continues,
his fingers drifting across my jaw. My eyes flutter closed as memories rush
back at me. “I want to sit outside the dressing room and have you come out to
show me every single thing you’re trying on.”
That he remembers all the little details sends a
thrill of pleasure spiraling to the very depths of my soul.
“And then I want to wander off for a bit and let
you do whatever you want, secretly hoping that you’ll send me a text that says
marshmallow. Though if you don’t that’s okay because I’ll send you one
instead.” He offers up a crooked smile and the sight of it cracks my heart wide
open, overflowing with so much pure love for him I want to cry. “Because we
made a deal. Whenever we see or hear that word, the other comes running. I’ll
always be the one to rescue you, Fable. You never have to worry about that.”
