Annie was staring at him again like she was waiting for the real Mac to come back. Like she was waiting for the irresponsible kid he was to walk through the door. Or maybe she was waiting for the guy she’d painted in her head all these years as the asshole that left her. But he wasn't either of those guys and he had a new plan. He was determined to show Annie the man he was now, and she could decide for herself if she wanted to be with this Mac. Because he’d already made up his mind. He’d loved Annie then and he loved her now. She was it for him.
