That must be Dave!

This stirs something in me, and I realie that no matter how mature and understanding I want to act, I can't stand Isabel with another man.

Without thinking, I call out her name.

"Isabel!"

Bhe needs to know I'm back.

I'm back to be her man!

Chapter Twenty Three Isabel

"Isabel!"

I hear my name from the voice I thought I would never hear again. I slowly turn in disbelief. Unsure if the voice was in my head or not. I heard right. The voice is real, and he stands barely kve feet from

me in person.

I blinS my eyes twice to be sure I see right. Nure enough, I am. HicS stands in front of me in the Fesh. I can see the nervous smile

on his face as he maSes his way to me.

How do I act?

I hate that he still looSs gorgeously handsome without trying. -is

silSy blond hair has grown longer since I last saw him, and his golden brown eyes sparSle against the sunset.

I want to forget it all and run into his arms, but it will not be easy.

xor so long, I have been angry at him for leaving me hanging with' out any e—planation. I was depressed for a long time and couldnDt shaSe the feeling that I was the problem.

Neeing him now stirs up a mi—ture of emotions within me. xor the past two years, I had thought about how he would return to meAhow I wished it would happen. Eead silence for two years, and now he is bacS.

Too many confusing emotions are crawling in my spine right now that I canDt curb.

IDm angry!

Eisappointed!

-appy!

Wnd e—cited.

Wll at once! It is overwhelming.

xor the most part, I always felt angry when the thought of him came

to me.

And the occasional longing.

Out that all changed when I saw the news of his father getting

arrested. Wnd he was part of the prosecuting team. I canjt imagine how hard it must have been to be responsible for ensuring that your fatherAFesh and bloodAis sent away to prison.
