Three Words

What stopped me from saying the three words Ian wanted to hear? My stubbornness that protected my heart, that's what.

A handsome cowboy with a hot body and a sense of humor to boot, Ian Daughtry was everything a woman could ask for. He was downright pretty to look at. The day he left my world spun out of control. It changed me inside. I was no longer the sweet, innocent girl. Instead, I became the wild child desperate to feel anything but love.

Now he's back, slipped into town unbeknownst to me. My family knew but didn't want to tell me, afraid it would rip me apart. 

I have a news flash for him. I don't care how hot he is, he ain't gettin' me back. This woman has done fine on her own. But boy howdy... just seeing him he sent me in a tailspin. One that might get me in a heap of trouble.
