Man Candy (After We Fall, #1)

by Melanie Harlow

sometimes being with someone from your past is like going home again. No matter how long it’s been, you don’t forget the way.

“You’re right about serious relationships not being all hearts and flowers and orgasms, Jaime. That’s falling in love. Over time, it’s not that anymore. It takes work. It takes trust and sacrifice and faith in something you can’t see. It means sticking the fuck around when you’re scared or tempted or angry. It’s knowing that someone has your back and will be there at the end of your best days and your worst. It’s understanding that you’re part of something bigger than yourself, and fighting for it.

there is no secret. There is no magic. There is no way to know what the future holds. The point is that you’re willing to take a chance.’”
