Prologue
Ethan
Haveyou ever had a connection with someone so fucking deep you can feel them from across the world?
It was where time and distance knew no bounds, and it almost seemed as if the further you were away from one another, the closer you’d feel to each other.
From my mind to my body to my soul…
Livvy Collins had always owned every last part of me.
We’d been best friends since we were kids. I couldn’t remember a time when she wasn’t the most important person in my life. I couldn’t remember a memory that didn’t involve her in some way, shape, or form. The list of things I couldn’t forget about her was endless.
From her laughter to her smile to her intoxicating scent… taste… feel…
It didn’t matter what life put us through, our friendship always came first. From friends to lovers to friends again, our unbreakable bond remained the same—even after we fell in love with each other.
Separate colleges.
Multiple relationships.
Different careers.
Not one milestone changed anything between us. If anything, our friendship became stronger despite the odds of it. Through it all, we were always there for one another.
And that night at three in the morning was no fucking exception.
I felt her before I ever heard my cell ring. Shooting straight up in my hotel suite bed, I woke up from a dead sleep seconds before my phone actually rang. Not thinking twice about it, I didn’t have to check the screen to know it was her.
Instead, I answered, “Are you okay?”
She giggled. “Is that any way to answer your phone?”
I sighed in relief. “It is when you call me at this time of night.”
“Well… I’m surprised you’re not working.”
“Who says I’m not?”
“I can hear it in your tone,” she playfully informed. “You were sleeping.”
“Livvy, even when I’m sleeping, you know I’m still working.”
“I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?”
“Are you calling to ride my ass about working too much?”
“I would never,” she mocked in a condescending tone that made me grin.
“Just think of how much the Beauet stock would collapse if your app wasn’t number one?”
“So you did call to ride my ass.”
She giggled again. “Is Celeste with you?”
“Celeste and I aren’t together anymore.”
“You were together two nights ago.”
