Itâs the classic storyâboy goes off into the world to fulfill his dreams and leaves the girl behind.
Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton wouldnât have come back to our small ranching town at all after he retired from playing professional football.
I figure itâs a quick layover for him. He always wanted out of this town and off his familyâs ranch. I just have to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us again.
Then he takes on the coaching position for the high school football team and starts milling around too much, bulldozing the protective walls Iâve built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him be the best player he can be. Leaving me to protect not only my own heart but my sonâs too.
Because I promised myself a long time ago that Iâd never be the girl in the rearview mirror again.
