The Love We Almost Had
“Landon is here?” Mabel asked, turning to look behind her, a frown forming on her face.
“Are you stalking me? Huh?” She asked drunkenly and made to climb down from the stool,
but she missed her footing and fell toward Landon who instinctively caught her in his arms.

“Ouch!” She winced as her butt came in contact with the hard floor.
