After wallowing in self-pity for a year, I finally return to the small mountain town I grew up in.When I show up on my best friend's doorstep unannounced, broke, and smelly after two days of hitchhiking, Logan takes me in and makes me feel like I'm not a total loser. We quickly fall back into our usual rhythm, and it's like we were never apart.Spending time with him reignites a flame that refuses to burn out. That we could be more than just friends. Even if he left no room at graduation for anything else to develop.LoganWade arriving unexpectedly is a surprise, but it's something my ASD brain can process and manage. Catching a close-up of his wet, glistening body as he steps out of the bathroom without a towel? Uh, that's another thing entirely.I've carved out a simple, quiet life for myself in the mountains. Being on the spectrum—I'm super organized, have strong attention to detail, and am routine-oriented—has made my love life nonexistent. It's got nothing to do with my feelings for Wade.I realized I was in love with him in high school, but I made a mess of things at graduation. Now that he's back, maybe I can make up for that mistake? And if I can, maybe he'll stay for good. less
