And I did. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe didn't. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI spent a year reaching out to her in every way imaginable, desperately clinging to the future we'd planned while we walked hand-in-hand on the beach. When July rolled around again, I waited eagerly, for her family's return. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey never came. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShe \u003c\/i\u003enever came. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI blamed her. I blamed myself. I blamed my big, involved family who are basically royalty on this island our ancestors found. After a while, I forgave her and moved on. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOf course I did. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCarrying a torch for sixteen years would be ridiculous. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo the fact that she's come back to the island, apparently to stay? Doesn't matter to me at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaybe I've been asking God why, but I figure He's got some kind of plan. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI can probably learn to accept her as a member of our little town, but that's where it has to end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy heart's still too shattered to risk breaking it again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Maddrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947525204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947525207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonatima Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.61d","brand":"Elizabeth Maddrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47201149616383,"sku":"9781947525207","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07dbea94-d467-4c93-a402-c241ab464646.jpg?v=1756789023","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/second-chance-at-the-seaside-elizabeth-maddrey-9781947525207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
