College professor and website designer Drew Hampton has had only one great love in his life. A loner as a teen, he found solace in art, his self-styled mullet, and the television show ALF. Then a new boy moved in next door, and he discovered love. Mechanic Wes Harrison was thrown into adult responsibility at a young age. He’s managed to build a good life through hard work and determination; however, he hasn’t been in a relationship since high school. Drew and Wes were deeply in love thirty years ago, but then they were torn apart. Unlucky at relationships after their separation, both men treasured memories of their one true love. Fate intervenes and gives them a second chance. Will they rekindle their once great love and find happiness, or has too much time gone by?

He regards me with interest. “We have a lot of catching up to do.”


I mourned the little moments lost between us, like the deepening of his voice and the maturing of his features. The boyish charm he exuded as a teen had evolved into quiet, handsome sophistication.


“This is me.” He stops at a large, silver four-door truck. Trust Wes to drive one of the manliest looking trucks I’ve ever seen. My red Smart Car would look like a toy next to it.


“I think I might need a step stool to get up into this thing.” My nervousness is rearing its head again.


“I don’t mind giving you a lift.” His exaggerated wink sets me off giggling, ending in a snort.


Wes gives a hearty laugh. “You snort now? I don’t recall ever hearing you snort.” He turns the key in the ignition and the truck roars to life.


“Appears to be a new thing for me. My first snort, I believe. You must bring it out in me.”
