Worse? We’re both competing to lead the project, and only one of us can come out on top.I swore I’d never forgive him. But he’s everything I fell for ten years ago–sweet, loyal, endlessly kind. He’s reminding me of the girl I used to be…and making me question everything I thought I knew about the boy who broke me.Now, I can’t remember why I hated him in the first place.Tropes:Small TownSecond ChanceBlack Cat x Golden RetrieverChildhood FriendsRivals to LoversSlow BurnAnxiety RepOpen Door
