"I never expected anything from you,"
Tiffany gazed at Arlo with unwavering seriousness in her eyes.
"Arlo, the breakup hit me hard.
I really need more time to think things through."
She and Arlo had grown up together, childhood sweethearts since they could remember.

That period was the darkest chapter of Tiffany's life—one she never wanted to revisit.
Thankfully, Camilla had been there to pull her through. Of course, she was happy that Arlo had returned to her.
But fear lingered too.
The pain of losing him once had been unbearable.
The thought of going through that again terrified her.
