       “I’d like a chance for us to start over.”

      “As friends?”

      The corner of his mouth kicked up in a wry smile. “We were more than friends.”

      For one night, they’d been lovers. One night that had changed both of their lives more than Ryder could possibly know.

      Lindsay swallowed. “Ryder, I—I can’t. We can’t go back. It’s not possible.”

      “And what about going forward? Is that impossible, too?” Reading the answer in her gaze, he came to his own conclusion as he eased far away from her on the crowded bench. “Because you can’t forgive me for what happened.”

      “It’s not that,” Lindsay protested quietly. “It’s—”

       That when I tell you the truth about what really happened that night, I don’t know how you’ll ever be able to forgive me.
