\nOn the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude.
\n(In the men\u2019s room. Don\u2019t ask.)
\nI got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents\u2019 house was allergic to our cat.<\/p>\n
\nAnd so it began\u2026my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?<\/p>\n
\nSometimes I\u2019d email him to express my aggravation and disdain.
\nHe\u2019d actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me.
\nThat was the type of infuriating person Caleb was.
\nSo frustrating.
\nAnd\u2026
\nSometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet.
\nAnd hot.<\/p>\n
\nToo bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us\u2014for so many reasons.
\nI definitely couldn’t fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Just-One-Year-Teaser.jpg?resize=640%2C334&ssl=1\")
