home.”
     Grace was the type to stay and work on the tough stuff and get through it. When her mom left that’s exactly what she did and never once thought about leaving. She wondered who it was that made him want to leave San Francisco. It must have been pretty bad if he felt the need to start over on the other side of the country.
     “How do you like life in Bar Harbor so far?” She moved around the kitchen as he watched her, until he found himself walking up behind her as she reached up to put the sugar away.
     “Let me get that for you.”
     He reached around grabbing the bag of sugar out of her hand and put it away. Being so close to her made his heart rate jump, but he didn’t want to move back just yet. He liked being close to her, feeling the warmth of her body the soft curves of her body against him, and the smell of her hair. It smelled like flowers and shampoo. He took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet smell of her hair before backing up. This was bad, and he felt the need to get the hell out of there.
      “Well I should be going; I don’t want to take up anymore of your time. It was nice seeing you again Grace.”
     Being so close to her when they were alone was testing his control. He had no intentions of getting into any type of relationship with a woman right now or anytime soon for that matter. He left San Francisco to be on his own and start over, and that was exactly what he intended to do as he walked out.
     “Thanks again for the sugar. Feel free to stop by if you need any,” She said.
    That sounded bad, she let her head hit the back of the door when she closed it behind him. At this rate her dating slump was never going to end, the only thing in the near future was cats, lots of cats.
     
     

     

 

     
      T he buzzing of the alarm in her ear was enough to set her off. She lifted her head up from the pillow, squinting to see what time it was, four thirty. Hitting the snooze button, she contemplated if she should skip the usual morning run. She knew she would regret it later and finally got out of bed after the alarm went off for the second time. She splashed water on her face trying to wake up, looking at herself in the mirror trying to tame her wild bed hair. It was still dark and quiet outside as Grace made her way down the driveway. She could hear the waves crashing on the rocks and the bells of the buoys far out in the water as she stretched her back and legs.
      This was one of the reasons she loved living in Bar Harbor. In the dark early hours of the morning, everything was peaceful. The sounds of water and the harbor, always gave her a feeling of tranquility and peace. It helped clear her mind, leaving all of her worries behind, even if it was for just one hour.
     Just as she was about to start her morning run she turned back to look at the house up the hill. It was dark the only light on was at the front door.
     Looking at Tyler’s house made her feel a longing in her heart that she hadn’t felt in a long time. “What is wrong with you he runs away from his problems this isn’t the guy to start anything up with,” she thought, as she started slowly jogging toward the harbor.
     What she wouldn’t give to have someone to come home to at night. Someone to share her life with, her hopes and her dreams, someone to love her and all of her flaws. Grace wanted true love, the kind of love that fits perfectly like the missing piece to a puzzle. The kind of love that with every kiss you feel it deep in your heart and know that it’s going to last forever.

    It was a little past eleven now, her Monday was dragging on like every Monday did for her. Grace was looking forward to the weekend because Paige was coming home to visit. It had been two years since Paige came home for the holidays and she was excited to see her sister again.
     “Oh my god, Grace don’t look up yet but the man walking in the door now is hot.”
     Of course she looked up just then, and when she did her
