I let my first love walk away. Now we're faking a relationship for the holidays. Only my feelings? They're stronger than ever. Harper Bennett wasn't just my first love-she was my only love.
I let her go so she could chase her culinary dreams, even if it broke me.
Now she's back, helping her grandmother through what might be her last Christmas.
When Willa assumes we're together again, Harper doesn't correct her-and I can't say no.
So we fake a relationship for the holidays.
But there's nothing fake about how I feel.
She's still the one.
And if I lose her again, I don't think I'll survive it twice.
