I was never one to believe in love at first sight.
I didn’t think it was possible.
Until I met him.
My life changed that day, but not in the ways I could have imagined.
For better, for worse… mostly worse.
I should have known; he was the town’s notorious bad boy.
The whole world knew what kind of man he was, and still, I fell for him.
I can’t say I wasn’t warned.
The townspeople told stories about him, whispered warnings to their daughters, and wives whispered warnings to each other.
His brother-in-law even warned me, but I didn’t listen.
I wish I had because maybe then I wouldn’t be standing here, wondering how I’d lose the only man I’d ever loved.
"He’s handsome, isn’t he?"
My friend whispered in my ear as we watched my husband rush around, getting everything ready for our guests.
"Yes," I whispered back, my eyes never leaving his face.
It was a shame he didn’t hear that more often.
His smile could light up a room, but he was too serious most of the time.
I wipe down the kitchen counter while keeping an eye on the driveway through the window.
The rumble of a motorcycle engine draws my attention, and my hand stalls mid-motion.
The bike turns into our driveway, and I watch as it comes to a stop.
The rider pulls off his helmet, and my heart starts racing as he shakes out his dark hair.
He’s wearing a leather jacket that shines in the afternoon sun.
He dismounts with fluid grace, and I can’t help but watch him.
Most people who come to the church office park in the lot next to the church, but he’s pulled up to the parsonage instead.
Instead of heading toward the office, he leans against his bike, crossing his arms over his chest.
His gaze moves to the kitchen window—to me—and my heart stops beating for a moment.
"Are you going to invite me in, or should I just keep standing here?" he calls out, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.
"What are you doing here, Alex?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady despite the turmoil inside.
"I came to see if you finally realized what you've been missing," he replies, a smirk playing on his lips.
I grip the edge of the counter, steadying myself before I turn and walk to the front door.
I can see him through the screen door, his stance confident and relaxed.
I open the door halfway, keeping the screen between us like a shield.
He steps closer, and I catch a whiff of leather and something spicy.
My fingers tremble on the door handle as I debate what to do next.
The house is empty, my husband at work, and I’m alone with this man who makes my stomach flutter just by looking at me.
Alex waits patiently, his eyes never leaving mine.
When I finally push the screen door open, the hinges creak loudly in the quiet afternoon air.
"Why now, Alex?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Because I heard you might be leaving town," he says, his eyes searching mine for confirmation.
"And what if I am?" I challenge, trying to mask the vulnerability in my voice.
