Protecting Lila

Lila

When Warren moves in next door to me, I’m instantly drawn to the scarred giant. 

I know right away that he’s meant to be mine. 

Too bad for me, he’s playing hard to get.

I don’t want to be back in California. 

I didn’t want this assignment.

It feels like I’m being sidelined. 

The only bright spot in my days has been my curvy new neighbor.

I’m determined not to put down roots here, but something deep down inside of me is telling me that she’s the one for me. 

When I get the offer to go back to active duty, will I choose to stay with my sweet sunshine, or go back to where I always thought I wanted to be?
