I won't settle for love. Love isn't enough. Standing in front of a classy boutique, I'm window shopping for a sexy black dress. I'm in search of the perfect "single again" gift to somehow, some way, make me forget the last year ever happened. From this day forward, it's all about me. I will no longer give myself away to a man that doesn't appreciate me. I intend to enjoy this newfound freedom to the fullest. My favorite earring slipping from my ear shatters that wish.

Nothing that will last past that coffee, dinner, and an all-nighter at my penthouse. After losing my one true love, I made an oath to never love again. My resolve is stronger than ever. I refuse to fall into the trap of that L-thing. Giving my heart away yields consequences I'm not willing to pay. If all of this is true, then why does the thought of never holding Kayla in my arms rattle my core?
