"Let's make a bet," he said, grinning. I snorted. "About?" "The loser has to grant the winner a wish." My eyes narrowed. "Really?" "Yeah. If you win, you can finally get rid of me," he added with a wink. "Tempting," I said and before he could change his mind i quickly added "Deal." He laughed. "See you at track on Saturday. Get ready to lose." "You wish, loser," I called after him. ----------- Mike and Jackson were childhood enemies, turned rivals, turned something neither of them had the words for-until life tore them apart and sent them down separate paths. Years later, Mike has what looks like the perfect life: a dream job, a charming boyfriend, and close to being happy . But love shouldn't hurt-and with his new boyfriend, love means pain and bruises. And the perfect life? It's cracking at the seams. Then Jackson shows up again -older, bolder, and still the only person who's ever really seen him. As the past collides with the present, long-buried feelings resurface... and so does new scars. Sometimes, love doesn't end. It just pauses-waiting to be picked up... right where we left off.
