Only You

About the book

Tatum

My closest friend has found happiness. He has found true love and has taken on the responsibility of caring for his younger siblings. I have always wanted to support him in any way possible, and now that things are going well for him, I should feel content, shouldn't I?

However, there has always been a void within me. It has been there for a long time.

It's something that I fear I may never be able to mend.

And all of a sudden, a part of my past resurfaces in my life. He should despise me. I despise myself. But that's the remarkable thing about Remy . . .

He is simply too good for this world, and I am scared once again that I might end up hurting him.

Remy

I yearn to put my past behind me. It is my ultimate objective.

I am no longer the vulnerable young boy who was in foster care. I am much stronger now. I am now the principal of a prominent school in the Kansas City region. I have developed into the man I always knew I could become.

I do not dwell on the past. I refuse to.

Yet, it is thrust back into my life, and I cannot turn a blind eye to it. I cannot walk away like he did all those years ago.

At times, I detest this stubbornness within me. I should keep my distance. He has.

However, there is a magnetic force that persists - even after all this time.

I may be able to put on a facade for everyone else, but in his presence, I begin to unravel.

Why do I falter when I am with him?

Tatum. The only person who truly understands me.
