Falling Into You

Jacob

this long, but he wished he hadn’t.

Actually, that wasn’t true. He’d stuck around this long hoping to grab Rory after the game and talk to her. Really talk. Tell

her how he felt. Apologize for yesterday. Throw himself at her feet and beg for forgiveness.

But clearly, he was a total chump. She’d said he’d made his choice, and clearly she had made hers.

Before the kiss was even over, Jacob had turned and jogged away, putting the crowd, the bleachers, and half the soccer pitch

between him and the heartbreaking travesty taking place on the football field.
