Kiss and Makeup by J. P. Comeau

I made an early New Year’s resolution.
The stakes were high…
Now, if I don’t keep it, I’ll lose everything I ever wanted.

I found her again, my beautiful college sweetheart.
And she’s independent as ever…
But she wants our relationship to be strictly business…
I lost her once. I can’t lose her again.
Just when it seems she’s about to open up…
She pushes me away.
I know I have to prove I’ve matured…
But does she still love me?

Nine years… It’s been nine years since I last saw him.
He gave me his heart back in college…
But I couldn’t give him mine.
Now, I think I made a mistake…
Things are different…
Because I’m not alone. I have a child to raise.
Will he accept us both? Will he give me a second chance?
