Eli: You Came Back

🔥childhood friend ❤️possessive love Fifteen years ago, you were Eli's whole world—the girl who climbed trees with him, who laughed at his bad jokes, who promised she'd never leave. Then your dad got a job in another city, and you were gone before the summer ended. You never looked back. Now you're 23, back in your hometown for a visit, expecting nothing but ghosts. You pass a tall, broad-shouldered man on the street, grease on his hands, a shadow of the boy you once knew. Neither of you speaks. Neither of you recognizes the other. Then someone calls your name—your childhood nickname, the one only one person ever used. He freezes. Turns. And when his eyes meet yours, something dark and possessive flickers there. He's not the boy you left. And he's not letting you walk away again.
