Old Habits

Small town. Big mistakes.
Everyone’s business.

Four years ago, Jovie Ross disappeared.

She was my high school sweetheart. My first love. My first everything.
I wanted it all with her. Marriage. A family.
Then, one day, she was gone.

She wanted more than a simple life in Clover, Kansas.
Unanswered questions have left me wondering what could have been.

Now, she’s back, but she’s not the same rebellious troublemaker she used to be.
She’s all grown up and even more beautiful than I remember.
But she’s still my Jovie. It doesn’t take long before she remembers that, too.

The town doesn’t believe she’s changed.
They want her gone and they won’t stop until they run her out of Kansas for good.
They’ll have to get through me first.

I wanted it all with her. This our second chance to get it right.
But the questions of the past need answers and I’ll do whatever it takes to get them.
For better or worse.
