Love Surfaced

Love Surfaced

The equations are simple. <br /> <br />Piper Ashby + Brad Ashby = Twin Siblings <br />Brad Ashby + Tanner McCain = Best Friends <br />Piper Ashby + Tanner McCain = Off limits <br /> <br />Tanner and I abided by the rules. We stayed on our designated sides of the relationship circle. <br /> <br />Ignoring swarming butterflies. <br />Brushing off skipped heartbeats. <br />Settling on lingering stares. <br /> <br />Here’s the secret … a hand extended over that invisible line once, exponentially changing the equation. I was convinced we could make our relationship work until Tanner broke the trust he embedded in me from the age of seven. <br /> <br />One deceit of mega proportions and the relationship we built for that short month vanished. I swore never to speak to him again and it’s worked. Until now—two years later, when my brother’s wedding places me face-to-face with the best man—Tanner McCain. <br /> <br />Leaving one equation to be solved. Can love surface twice?
