  Mandy met the love of her life in high school. She didn't realize it until he left to pursue his dream of playing professional hockey. Twelve years later they are together again. Has life given them a second chance or will Kip leave her for his dream again?

  Kip pulled the box out of its place in his bag beside the hotel double bed. He sat on atop the covers and opened the lid. He lifted out everything but the letter without looking at it. He pulled out the letter still stained with tears from when Mandy had written it. He knew the words from memory, but he needed to see them in black and white.

  My love,

  I never wanted to hurt you. I just think you need to concentrate on playing. It's your dream. Mine is being a teacher, and I have to work here on doing that. I'd be a distraction. I love you too much to do that. I'll be done in three years, and I'll call you then. I think it's for the best. I liked you from the moment I saw you the first day I walked into that school. I never dreamed I'd get to spend two years with the man of my dreams, let alone be loved. All my love MG

  Kip was tempted to crumple the letter in his hands. He hadn't looked at it in over a year. He read it about once a year to remind him of the reasons everything had happened as it had. To try not to regret the past.

  He'd lived the lie for eleven years. He'd told himself that he didn't regret letting her go. Maybe Mandy felt the same way, and he could have his second chance with her. If she didn't feel the same, then she wasn't the Mandy he'd loved all these years, and he'd be able to finally get over her. Either way, there would be some fucking closure.
