Now she’s living in my rental house for the entire summer, single as a lone wolf, and I can already feel my defenses starting to slip. But I have to keep them up, remember why she can never be mine. Not only has my best friend been there, but now, I’m in no place to love someone the way she deserves to be loved. I’m damaged goods, and there is no way I’m letting her touch my issues with a ten-foot pole.
