Jesse's Girl

You can always come home. Second chances come a little harder.

Jesse and Zoe were the high school golden couple. Football captain, cheerleader, prom royalty. After graduation, though, Jesse couldn't resist the urge to experience life outside their small town. He didn't exactly expect Zoe to wait twelve years for him, but now that he's back, he finds some small part of him hoping she did.

It's no big surprise she's married. The kick in the face is she married his best friend.

Zoe was devastated when Jesse left, but she's filed those bittersweet memories under "Moved On". She loves her life, and loves her husband. She has all she needs. And Jesse keeps an honorable distance.

One cold, wet, miserable day, tragedy turns Zoe's world upside down. Jesse never expected her to simply fall into his arms, but a man can dream. Except his dream doesn't include the fact that this time, she's the one hitting the road…and he's the one left behind.

Warning: This story contains heartbreak, heartache and one last chance for two lovers to find each other.
