I’m not going to change. I’m going to stay exactly the same, at least as far as Sam’s concerned. I’m going to be a friend he can count on, no matter what, but that’s it. If for some unforeseeable reason we make it to twenty-four without “losing it,” this stupid bargain will be so far in the past, neither of us will remember it.
And if we do, we’ll laugh about how silly it was, and that will be that, because Sam and I are going to be besties—just besties—forever.
Or so I assume…
Until he disappears after graduation, changing his phone number and dropping so far off social media not even my legendary search engine skills can track him down.
Until he misses our annual Christmas skate in the park and doesn’t bother calling to wish me a happy nineteenth birthday the following summer.
Years pass without a word from the boy who once owned such a big piece of my heart, and I begin to think I’ll never see Sam again.
I go on with my life, graduating from college with honors, starting a demanding new job, and learning to be grateful for the friends I still have, instead of mourning the one I lost.
And then, one night a drop-dead gorgeous man with broad shoulders, drool-worthy biceps, and an eerily familiar twinkle in his eye crashes my twenty-fourth birthday party.
It’s him—Sam, back from the dead and apparently ready to make good on that bargain we made one steamy summer night when we were just seventeen.
I should tell him to get lost and not let the door hit him on the way out.
I should laugh in his face or pretend I have no idea what he’s talking about.
Instead, I kiss him and realize younger me was right—kissing Sam is some life-changing shit, and I don’t think I’ll ever be quite the same again.
