I studied Jacinda’s pretty hazel eyes. “You were thinking about your first love just now, weren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“What’s his name?”
“Phillip.”
“Do you know where he is?”
“In Savannah, Georgia. I keep up with him on Instagram.”
“So y’all are still friends then.”
“We are.”
“Do you mind telling me why you and Phillip didn’t make it?”
“We had different career aspirations. He wanted to see the world and became a pilot for American Airlines, while I wanted my simple life here in Fort Worth. Then I met Carter and married him six months later.”
“And then divorced him after eight not-so-happy years.”
Jacinda nodded. “If I could go back in time, I would follow Phillip’s dream and go with him. He begged me to.”
“Well, you’ve witnessed me getting a second chance with my first love. If I were you, I’d be making a trip to Savannah.”
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because Phillip is married.”
“Happily?
“He doesn’t look like it in the few pictures I’ve seen of him and his wife online. I know his real smile.”
“If you could have a second chance with him, would you take it?”
“Riley, I…” Jacinda stopped short, but the glimmer of hope in her eyes finished her sentence.
“I know you would, just like I did with Rhys. Word of advice: keep a close eye on that first love of yours. There might be something in the cards for you and him just yet.”

Me:The locksmith can squeeze you in at 4:00 p.m. Will that work for you?
Riley:Unfortunately, no. I’m booked solid with patients until 5:00 p.m. I’ll see if I can get a locksmith to come over on Saturday when I’m off work, and you’re here.
Me:I’m going to call another locksmith company and get someone out to your place after you get home from work.
Riley:Really, it’s okay. I’m not worried about Chad doing anything.
Me:I am. Hang tight.
After calling three other locksmith companies and being told they couldn’t get to Riley until tomorrow afternoon, I knew my next step was to drive to Fort Worth and change Riley’s door locks myself. She’d already given me her home address but not her work address. Knowing its location hadn’t seemed necessary; however, it was now.
Me:What’s the address of the dental office?
