Forever and Always

Six months ago, Emma left without saying goodbye. No explanation, no warning-just gone, like Jesse Turner was something she could walking away from. That's when his whole world fell apart. Suddenly Jesse's life is curfews, check ins, a tag around his ankle, every decision monitored, every hour accounted for. Controlled. Grey in a way that never really lifts. Everything is smaller than it used to be. But now, Emma is back. Back in his town. Back in his line of sight. Back in the cottage where they spent too many days and nights to let it mean nothing. With the wrong man's ring on her finger and a future that is not theirs. It should be simple. Jesse should stay away. Let her have the life she chose -and take what's left of him with her. Instead, he keeps showing up. Because being near her again is the same as it always was-too much, too fast, like something pulling tight between them that neither of them knows how to cut. Like they never stopped. Like they couldn't if they tried. She's hiding something; he can feel it. It doesn't change anything. He knows what this costs. He knows exactly what he's risking. He just doesn't know how to stop being hers.
