Second Chances by Kelly Peterson (the giving tree read aloud TXT) 📖

screw her instead of me? She wouldn’t have cared and you wouldn’t have either!” My voice was on edge and so raw that I could barely whisper now.

“Because there is no other woman! I lied! I wanted to make you stay in my life! I want us to be together. I do.”

“Sam, you said there was no way!”

“Ava, I love you. I’ll do anything to make this work.”

Sam bravely kissed my forehead. I fought the urge to slap the snot out of him. I didn’t have it in me.

Then, he pulled me tight against him. I looked up into his hazel eyes. We kissed, not caring who was watching our strange drama as it unfolded for the public and for ourselves.

Somehow, we found ourselves drowning again in the sea of love. But, we realize we’re swimming together, and we can either be an anchor or a lifesaver for each other.

No, things are far from perfect. At this moment we still have the kinks to work out. But, somehow, I think we’ll make it work if love is really our goal.
