First love is impossible to forget.
Even after years, he perfectly remembers how sweetly his heart would flutter at every gentle look of hers, how intensely everything inside would burn from her pure smile… And how badly he wanted to jump out the window when she betrayed him.
Now she is only a tired, cold shadow of that fragile girl who drove him crazy as a teenager. He too long ago traded teenage enthusiasm for healthy skepticism. Life taught him.
And there’s nothing linking them except not-so-pleasant memories.
But why, then, does even her fleeting smile still get to him?
To the point of goosebumps.
