That moment your life changes.
That moment that changes your life.
That moment you love someone more than
you love yourself.
That was the moment we gave our son up
for adoption and the moment I was left bare. A wide-open space that
would forever be empty.
There are moments that define you as a
person, moments that prove just how strong you are, moments you push
yourself to keep going forward when all you really want to do is give
up. It was in one of those moments when I reached out and found him
waiting for me.
When Shelby Calder left home fifteen
years ago, she never planned on returning to the Alaskan town she
left behind. But after the death of her grandfather and a bitter
divorce, she hopes going home will be a fresh start for her and her
ten-year-old son.
Zach Watters has made a lot of mistakes
in his life. But when he sees Shelby Calder, looking more beautiful
than ever, standing outside her childhood home, he promises himself
that letting her go won't be a mistake he ever makes again.
Some things never change and love is
one of them.
“Then why did you marry her?” I
ask, wondering if I’m really ready to go there with him, but it’s
too late to change my mind. The question is out, and as much as I
don’t want to know the answer, I need to know the answer.
“I wanted my kids to have what I
didn’t. I believed that, with time, we could find a way to be
happy.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t talk about
this,” I say, changing my mind as nausea and jealousy turn my
stomach.
“You loved your ex, baby. I know you
did. I didn’t have that. I wanted it but never had it with her or
anyone else since you.”
“Please stop.” Feeling tears burn
the back of my eyes for him, I close them tight. Max and I were happy
and in love in the beginning, and I hate knowing Zach never had that…
the kids didn’t see or feel that.
“I wish my past didn’t hurt you so
much. I’m sorry for hurting you the way I have. If I could take
your pain away, I would.” He gathers me against him and tucks my
head under his chin.
“As sad as it makes me, I wish you
would have had that with her or someone else,” I say, and his arms
tighten so much that my lungs compress.
“I don’t,” he growls.
“What?” I wheeze, and he loosens
his grip just enough for me to take a breath.
“I don’t want to think about what
would have happened if I had been with her or someone else when you
came back. I don’t want to face that demon inside of me that knows
what I would have done.”
“Zach—”
“I’ve been in love with you for
almost eighteen years. I carried your missing pieces around inside me
for that long, Shelby. I know it would have made me an asshole, but
there is only one you. You’re the only place I’ve ever called
home.” His voice is thick with emotion, and that wound inside of me
fills up a little bit more. I hate his words, but a part of me is
relieved he feels that way, that he feels so deeply for me.
“There’s been a wide open space
inside me since we placed Samuel and I left you behind. But, from the
moment I came back, it’s slowly been filling up.”
He goes quiet at my words. Several
moments pass before he speaks again. “One day, that space will be
full. I swear, with everything I have in me, I will make sure it’s
overflowing and that you never feel empty again.”
**sigh** This book made me cry and fall in love at the same time. Wide Open Spaces is a story about a second chance love - somewhat a heartbreaking story if you are going to ask me on what I think about it. Anyway, the story is well written and I love how Ms. Aurora brought the story of Shelby and Zach to life. I was easily get attached to their story. The characters, Shelby and Zach are easy to relate with and love. Shelby returned home after her grandfather's death and her divorce for a fresh start. Zach, a man he knows he made mistakes but when he saw Shelby again, he promises to himself that he will never do something he regrets again. What I love about this book is that I was easily pulled in to the story - and its drama. Actually, I love how everything about this book.
