When my best friend committed suicide in our senior year of high school, I moved two states away, trying to escape the grief. Less than two years later, I found out that my girlfriend had cheated on me and was about to have another man’s child.
I spent the next three years retreating into a shell of my former self, keeping everyone at arm’s length. If all I got out of letting people in was pain, what was the point?
But that all changed the night I met Zoe.
When I heard her sing, her voice captivated me. When I talked to her, I felt an immediate connection. When I kissed her, she brought me back to life.
And then she walked into my classroom the next day…as one of my high school students.
Could I really pretend the chemistry between Zoe and I didn’t exist? Or was I willing to risk everything to be with the girl who had reminded me that life was worth living?
