We have three rules:One night.No kissing.No falling in love.Memories can do different things to alter our perception of reality. Attached to those memories are strings, and each string holds the emotions we felt.They can make us laugh and cry. They can anchor us. They can drag us back when all we want to do is run to the future.Memories dance in the shadows. They cast doubts over everything we know is true. Memories can break down walls and build impenetrable barriers.These memories I speak of; they’re not mine.They’re his.And I see his memories flicker beneath warm eyes.He fights with it.For me, he battles with a presence no longer here.But I can’t compete with a memory.Because his memory is her.

Greyson East left his mark on me.As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near.Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again.When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined.I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain.When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to get to know him, not to recall the memories I’d treasured all this time. But, sometimes, I saw the boy I’d once known in his stormy eyes. I saw the Greyson who smiled and laughed, who had stolen a young girl’s heart, and there was no doubt in my mind that this boy was worth fighting for.I was given a second chance with the one who’d left his mark on me. All I hoped was that somehow I’d leave a mark on his soul, too.
