BRIAN
They say time heals everything.
Whoever said that never dated Caitlin Baker.
It’s been years since we ended, and most days, I pretend I’m over her. Then she walks back into my life—all curves and chaos—and suddenly, I’m right back where I swore I’d never be.
One night. That’s all it was supposed to be.
She had her city life. I had my badge and this town.
It was better that way. Cleaner. Safer.
But now she’s back—for real. Broke, stubborn, and crashing in my damn spare room.
I tell myself I can handle it. Keep it friendly. Keep my heart out of it.
Then she tells me she’s pregnant.
And just like that, I’m all in.
Even if I know how this ends.
She’s never wanted to stay.
And I’ve never planned to leave.

CAITLIN
I never planned on coming back to Poplar Springs.
And I sure as hell didn’t plan on falling back into Brian’s bed.
But when everything fell apart, this was the only place left.
I told myself I’d keep it simple. Work. Save up. Move on.
But nothing’s simple when Brian’s involved. He’s steadier than I remember. Stronger, too. And the way he looks at me? Like he never stopped.
I was already halfway gone when I found out I was pregnant.
Now I’m stuck between the life I thought I wanted…
And the man I’ve never stopped loving.
But he belongs to this town.
And I’ve never belonged anywhere.
