Joey
 
I wouldn’t say I ran away exactly—twenty-two is too old for that.
 
I’d call it self-preservation.
 
I have one objective: protect my heart from the boy next door who has no clue I’ve loved him my whole life, even with a front row seat to his revolving bedroom door.
 
My escape plan almost worked.
 
Except I left one thing behind.
 
Logan Carter hijacked my heart, and now it’s time to get it back. This time for good.
 
 
Logan
 
I wouldn’t say I’ve been lying this whole time—not about everything.
 
Not about how much I miss my best friend, and definitely not about how pissed I am that she left with hardly a goodbye.
 
She’s the last person I ever expected to ghost me, and her absence left a gaping hole in my chest.
 
When Joey Grayson steps off that bus, I know I’ll do anything to keep her home, and that means finding out the truth.
 
But I’m not sure how to tell her my truths when I’m living so many lies.

“Must be brave, stubborn, and impervious to the tempers of loved ones.”
The first line hissed with history.
 
“Hours are endless, pay is non-existence, quitting absolutely forbidden.”
The second line ached with truth.
 
“Able to function on no sleep, refrain from running when times get hard, and be more than just a living canvas but a lover.” 
The third thrummed with honesty.
 
“Other attributes required: forgiving, opinionated, and not afraid to tell me when I’m wrong. Must also enjoy being touched and kissed at any time of my choosing.”
The fourth glowed with promise.
 
“Call or email ‘YOUR HEART, HIS SOUL’ if interested in applying.”
The final made my future unfold.
 
The advert was so similar to one I should never have applied for. 
A twist of fate that brought two destined people back together. 
A job I would take in a heartbeat if the employer could offer such terms.
But I wasn’t free.
Neither was Gil. 
Therefore, my interview could never happen.
