It’s been years—twenty-one to be exact—since I last saw her. Crying her heart out, asking me to promise her that I’d come back. And I did. I didn’t want to leave, but my parents were. Like most adults, they had this crazy rule that where they go, I go. Ugh. It really . Leaving Kim was probably the hardest thing I ever did in my entire life. But now, I’m coming back. I’m coming back to make her mine.
