Her heart isn’t ready, or so she thinks.

Denton Chance isn’t sure he should return.
The past still haunts his heart.
A desire that never left them, along with circumstances beyond their control, brings the past to the present.

Sometimes love deserves a second chance.

The Letter
Dear Mati,
If you’re reading this, something has happened to me.
Hopefully, it wasn’t something long and drawn out, but quick and peaceful. Baby, I’m also
hoping it didn’t take you, too, although you know I’d find you in heaven if you are here with
me.
So, you’ve made it to cleaning out my office, which you’ve
been asking me to do for years. I never was the neatone.
Reassure the boys I’m watching over them. I have faith that
the two halves of us will find their way in the world, hopefully as fathers, as fatherhood has
been one of the greater joys of my life.
The greatest joy has been your love, Mati. I know you gave
it to me willingly, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer. We know we’ve covered all four
areas. Death does not part us, but I don’t want it to stop you from living. We promised each
other, young or old, which ever one of us went first, the other would continue to enjoy the gift
of life. It’s an adventure. Ours has certainly hit some bumps, taken curves, and ridden steep
hills, but we enjoyed the ride, right? Don’t stop now. You’re the driver, Mati. A new road
awaits.
I want you to do me a favor. Just consider it before you get
mad at me. (Those vows should have included in moments of conflict and peace.) Contact
Denton. He was one of our best friends. He loved you asI did, only I’m the luckier man. Despite
riches and fame, I won you. I had your ear and your heart and your body. You might need
someone to talk to, and he could be the ear for you. I have no doubt his heart is still open to
yours. As for your body, well, I’d be a selfish man, deserving hell instead of heaven, if I expected
it to waste on earth without attention. We gave each other permission, in vows outside our
wedding, babe. I expect you to accept them. For once, don’t argue with me.
Live life.
Love from heaven,
Chris
About L.B. Dunbar
I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination. To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of a small-town
world (Sensations Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E.), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.
