My one-night stand is back in town. I thought Elias was the one. After only one night in his arms, he captured my heart. Promises were made. But none were kept. Because my broody, military hero disappeared. Five years later, I've moved on. At least that's what I tell myself when Elias shows up again. He's not the same man.
