You know what I don't have time for? The brooding, dark-eyed former love of my life showing up when my life is finally settling down.

I don't have time for Hunter Buchanan and that intense look in his eyes. The way he loved me so perfectly all those years ago.

I'm the one who asked him to leave back then, my attempt at saving him from the chaos of my screwed up family.

I didn't expect him back in Green Valley, looking better than before and with an empty ring finger. And I definitely didn't expect him to still be in love with me.

I don't have time for the things I feel around him, or how amazing it is when he touches me.

Most of all, for the broken heart I'll have if I have to say goodbye again. I survived him leaving once before, but I don't think I can do it again.

So there's only one thing I can make time for... staying away from Hunter Buchanan.
