About Tomorrow...
I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart. The voice was slightly deeper but the timbre was one that was achingly familiar.
My actions did little to help, but then who was I kidding? A deep breath wasn't going to fix the effect he had on me and my body's inevitable reaction. Even the memories that would forever haunt me couldn't keep my emotions from triggering at the nearness of him once again.
I used to pray that I'd find the strength to move on from him, from the pain that the end carried, from the emptiness in my chest, but ultimately move on from—the loss of Creed Sullivan and the death of his sister, Cora.
The Sullivans had been the best part of my summers in New England.
Deep down, I knew my ache for all that I had lost was the reason I returned...
But I hadn't expected to see him again—especially not like this.

Creed had put on a pair of faded jeans and a vintage Def Leppard tee shirt but he’d not brushed his hair. It worked for him but then Creed was the kind of sexy that could wear anything and still turn heads. As a little girl, I’d loved playing with him and as a teenage girl I had fallen in love with him.
“Hello,” I said so softly- it was almost a whisper.
“Their coffee is shit,” he said as he walked toward the kitchen.
I turned my gaze back to the fire. Pretending like we were strangers was difficult. Once there had been so much I wanted to say to him. I’d wanted to ask him why? What had I done wrong? Why had he turned on me without a reason?
Now, he was here. We were in the same room and I had no words. I couldn’t think of one thing to say.
I heard him in the kitchen and as much as I wanted to not care that he was here my body was attuned to his every move. Maybe it was my nerves or uncertainty. It couldn’t possibly be more than that. His footsteps were soft and I realized he must be barefoot. The cold wouldn’t affect him like it did me. He was a New Englander.
He sat down in the chair across from the sofa and his gaze was on me. I didn’t want to look at him. The fire was less confusing and unsettling. I didn’t have to pretend with the fire. Creed however was a different story. How did he expect me to act like we were strangers when there was so much in our past?

Growing up the mere mention of Creed Sullivan's name and the butterflies in her tummy would start fluttering... he was the boy she wanted to give her heart to. He was the brother to her best friend, and the boy who always came to her rescue. He was her everything. When they hit their teens they were inseparable, to the point that they sometimes ignored the world around them, they were so in love with one another. But then one day tragedy struck and things between them came to a halt. The boy who was always there for her suddenly left Sailor all alone.
She found a way to move on and pick up the pieces, even finding love again, but she often still wondered about the boy who still held a piece of her heart. They haven't seen one another in six long years and all it takes is hearing is voice once to set those butterflies a flutter all over again. How can he do that? Still hold so much control over her heart when he has been absent for so many years? She is determined to keep him out though, too much time has passed, and too much damage has been done. There is no way she is letting Creed Sullivan back in again....
About Tomorrow is a heartbreakingly beautiful love story that withstands the test of time, personal growth, heartbreak, and loss. Creed and Sailor were once inseparable, meaning the world to one another, but one moment changed everything and pushed them apart. They both struggled to move on with one another, but neither knew how to come to terms with the fact that their relationship kept them from seeing things they should have. To have that kind of love and lose it was devastating to their hearts and souls, but they managed to move on... but not fully. Now they come together again in unique circumstances, and it's as if time hasn't passed at all for them, that love is still fierce and burns brightly, but their are complications they can't ignore. My heart broke for these two and all they had endured, so much pain and loss, sometimes it was almost unimaginable. Following them on their journey gave my heart a serious work-out, at times it felt like it was being squeezed by a vise and at other times it soared. It has been some time since I have read a book from this author, but it didn't take me long to remember how much I love her stories, they are the kind that are truly unforgettable. The kind that change you in ways you never thought possible, the kind that leave a mark! If you like angsty, heartstring- tugging stories then I have no doubt you will love what you find between the pages here. This one is perfectly penned and bound to wreck you in the best possible way! Highly recommend!!
