More importantly Topher thought what's a boy, more specifically,this boy, to do? Fresh out of college, no job, new house thankfully due tosaving up during school, but nobody to share with it !ure "arolinaloves me, but # can't stop thinking about that last night at school whensomething came over me and # kissed Tara again $e have such a longhistory, and # still love her # just don't know what to do


4/111

Topher has really done %uite well for himself &e moved into this nicehouse by the beach with his own pool on a nice patio # believe thishouse was originally built by Taube for "alamity "oast #t was sittingin my house bin, and # decided to give it some updates #'m %uite happywith how it turned out


5/111

Topher decided he needed to talk to Tara and get things sorted out once

and for all so he called, and called and called Tara lways getting hervoicemail, and despite himself leaving increasingly desperate soundingmessages(ey Tara! Long time no see er talk you know what 4 mean#6 nervous

chuckle 7Well 4-m back in the neighborhood down the street fromyour old house actually and 4 wanted to see if you-d like to come over#

Okay give me a call back when you can6


6/111

)oicemail *+ 8 7ey Tara it-s me again Topher hey### so 4-ve left you a

few messages now 4 hope you-re okay### 4-m just here thinking of youwishing you were here#### okay well call me back6


7/111

)oicemail * - 7i Tara 1 it-s been a few days since 4 first left you amessage### 4-m really starting to get worried about you! 4 guess maybeyou could have changed your number but it-s still your voice on themessage### Tara 1 4 know 4 really messed up 4 need to talk to you#9ou-re killing me over here don-t you think you-ve put me throughenough pain already with this ridiculous silent treatment3336


8/111

Topher was really starting to stew $hat the heck was going on with

Tara that she wasn't answering his calls?? # mean, he knew she wasengaged to .udy, but it was just to make Topher jealous or so Topherthought in a jealous fit proceeding )oicemail */07Tara 1 4-m so sorry 4 know my last message was well wrong# 4-m the

one at fault here# 2ut 4 know we have something real# 4f you give methe chance 4 know you-ll see me for who 4 was when we fell in loveagain# :lease Tara call me#6


9/111

&e couldn't fall asleep, butsadly spent his days in bed

between voicemails to Taradreaming about her, and tryingto figure out what he needed todo to make it right &e waslovesick, bitter and sad

Topher was very lovesick &ebarely remembered to eat, andwhen he did it was just cereal or

mac and cheese scarfed down onthe brink of collapsing


10/111

The more Topher thought about Tara's (betrayal1 the more he began toreali2e he had been such a fool &e would never forget the anger he felt

when that stupid mascot grabbed Tara but now he knew he shouldhave been mad at the mascot, not his sweet Tarand then it hit him he never got to apologi2e because by the time hereali2ed he needed to, Tara wasn't willing to talk to him any more andhad moved on $ell, maybe he couldn't talk to Tara in person, but if he

wrote her an apology letter and sent it in the mail, she may be able toread it when she would be ready #t was worth a try

T h t t k hi l


11/111

Topher set to work on his apology70ear Tara4f you haven-t already torn this letter up

thank you 8 4 need to let you know that 4know 4 was wrong and not only that

that 4-m so sorry for hurting you#Tara when 4 was angry at you 4 should

have been defending you and yourhonor not hurting you even more#0earest sweetest Tara 1 4 don-t know

how you could ever forgive me butplease just let me ask for forgiveness# 4need to know that you know that 4 ameternally remorseful for my actions andthat 4 still love you with all of my heart#

4-m beginning to reali;e 4 don-t deserve you now and 4 probably never did# 4

guess your father was right about me all those years ago# 4 wasn-t ready to sharemy life with someone so joyful so innocent and so trusting#4 hope when you look back on our past that you can remember the good times

too# 4-m so sorry Tara 1 4 hope that


12/111

Two weeks had passed since Topher had sent his letter &e hadn't hearda thing from Tara 3ut he was picking up the pieces and had started

getting ready for each day and was taking better care of himselfMidway through the second week he called "arolina thinking thatTara's silence made it official fter all, "arolina still thought of Topheras her boyfriend, she wasn't aware of any of the drama with Tara !hejust knew Topher was moving and would call her when he was settled,

that's what he had told her after all Topher was a lucky man inattracting such a trusting woman a second time


13/111

7Oh Topher! 4 am so happyyou called! Wow look at this

beautiful house 1 and look atyou!6 ,he cooed as she pulledTopher in for a kiss whichTopher sidestepped#7)w (arolina it-s so good to

see you6 Topher said huggingtight#

!o call "arolina he did nd"arolina immediatelyresponded with a %uick visit!he was just as smitten as she

ever was back at school


14/111

3ut in Topher's eyes, he wasonly reac%uainting himself with

"arolina after trying to pick upthe pieces of his heart The twowere in completely differentmindsets, which madeconversation full of %uiet

awkward pauses

#n "arolina's eyes, nothing hadskipped a beat They were twoyoung people in love enjoyingher boyfriend's killer new pad,cooking out and enjoying eachother soon too at least shehoped


15/111

("arolina is such a sweet girl1Topher thought to himself,

(Maybe this was all # needed allalong, some time interactingwith an old friend1 &e wasn't%uite willing to think of"arolina as his girlfriend

4ot willing to go indoors yet,Topher joined "arolina in thepool &is heart was starting tomelt and the pain from losingTara was starting to getreplaced with visions of"arolina in her new bathingsuit


16/111

s Topher sat alone on his

couch mulling over the day inhis mind, his doorbell rangssuming it was a stranger, he%uickly put on some clothes andran to the door

3ut he just wasn't feeling it,and he didn't want things to getawkward as night approached!o he hugged "arolina and senther on her way "arolina wasdefinitely a bit taken a back athis distance


17/111

$hen Topher opened the door his heart skipped a beat Tara was

standing there in front of him 3oy did she look beautiful57T8tara 4 can-t believe you-re here! Won-t you come inside3 This means

you got my letter367i Topher### yes 4 got your letter and your => voicemails### yes let-s

Topher had no clue what to think

7Tara! :lease don-t go! A 4 love you!6 Topher was a mess on his kneestrying not to cry as Tara walked away without another wordTopher thought to himself, (6h Tara, that hurt more than # ever thought

it could1


21/111

7icking himself up off of the ground, at least Topher knew that it wasover, and always would be nd though the closure was far from whathe had been hoping for, it was closure nonethelessTomorrow would be another day, and he would make sure that the ne8t

woman knew that he trusted and loved her more than anything else inthe world &e wasn't going to let himself ruin another relationship


22/111

The ne8t day the 6puses gathered at their old family home, now the
