My heart fluttered at the sight of him in his tux, looking more handsome than anyone had a right to look. I knew from Mack that he was working on becoming a firefighter, and though we didn’t visit the pond as much anymore, I’d found him there once or twice over the last few years. Each time, I left with a renewed crush. He made it darn near impossible for me to seriously date anyone else. The ridiculous, imaginary pedestal I’d put him on made everyone else pale in comparison.
