Once upon a time, we used to be friends, but that’s before we both grew up. That’s before the boy I knew turned into the crude-talking man with the dangerously alluring glint in his eye and the reputation that scares me as much as it draws me in… That’s before the night he kissed me and then left me in the dust.
