Overview

There was never any question that I would be there for him.

I've known him since we were kids. We were best friends, sharing everything - until I made a mistake and got a girl pregnant. Pretty soon I was a single dad while I was still a kid myself. Our friendship suffered. He joined the military.

And I thought I'd never get another chance to let him know what he really means to me.

Now he's back, reeling from the loss of his newborn baby's father, and he needs a place to stay while he settles back into parenthood and small town living. I won't pressure him. I won't rush him. And if he's still not interested, I'll let him go.

But I'll be damned if I won't hold on to this second chance with the best friend I thought I’d lost long ago.
