About Sunsets and Somedays:
Ben
I know why I lost her. I was too serious.
I was too practical. I was grounded when I should’ve been dreaming about
forever with Jess.
Over time, this wore on her, all her big
exciting ideas and all the ways I shut them down. No wonder she handed me my
ring back and left town. No wonder she hadn’t been back in ten years. No wonder
she’d married someone else, leaving me with memories of sunsets at the beach
and the somedays we planned for the future we’d never live.
So, I built a lift without her. My father
and I opened the second division of Sunset Builders in New York, and to my
surprise, I stayed busy, almost busy enough not to notice the loneliness.
While I was on a job site, my little
sister booked an appointment with a woman who lived on Madison Avenue. A quick
bathroom and kitchen remodel, she’d said. I should have asked more questions
because when I arrived and the door opened memories came flooding back.
Jessica had returned. If I’d learned
anything in her absence it was that anything worth doing was worth being done
well, and anything worth having was worth fighting for. Maybe by the time the
condo was done, Jessica would give me a second chance.

All those years ago, Ben had been right
to try to keep me grounded. I should’ve listened. The falls didn’t hurt as bad
that way.
Instead, I wanted a bigger life in a
bigger place and I never appreciated the beauty of living in a small town with
a huge support system. So, I left town without so much as a goodbye chasing a silly
dream. I alienated myself, moved to a strange city where I knew no one, and
chased after something that took me down a dark path.
I married the man who promised me the
sun, moon, and stars, but delivered blinding blows. Sometimes, I thought I’d
die before I escaped the nightmare. I knew my only way out would be to
run...again. This took more years than I could count. Years of me squirreling
away money, and years of me hiding in the dark so that no one would see my
bruised face in the light of day.
Then my grandfather died. He left me
money and a gorgeous condo in New York. While my husband was away on a
month-long trip, my best friend drove me to New York. My plan: to upgrade the
condo, sell it, and leave my current life behind.
Little did I know when I had called
contractors to get some quotes that Ben would show up on my doorstep. He swore
we could make more dreams real, but this time I was the grounded one. This
time, I could only see how it would never work. I’d made too many mistakes.
Love was terrifying. And I never wanted to tie myself to anyone ever again.
After all, 425 Madison is the perfect
place to fall in love.
