The Second Tryst

She ran when he needed her most, but now she needs him.

Sydney
Since my diagnosis, my family did everything they could to smooth the edges of life for me. When I met Adrian Alessi the summer before college, it was like coming up for desperately needed air. I wanted that one thing for myself. One thing that wasn't consumed by doctors and meds and concern. Adrian treated me like every other girl, because he didn't know I wasn't-and that's how I liked it. Years of secret rendezvous and deepening feelings made walking away from him the most difficult thing I'd ever done. Now I'm back in his orbit, and he suddenly knows every secret I've kept from him. Every secret except the ones I refuse to admit to myself.

Adrian
I was always the class clown. The reckless, impulsive youngest brother who no one took seriously. Then, at twenty-two years old, the death of my mother plunged me into a dark place. My brothers did their best to be supportive, but they couldn't substitute for the one person I truly needed-Sydney Byrne. We spent every summer sneaking away, falling in love, only to separate when fall came. When my mom got sick and I needed Sydney more than ever, she left me. No explanation, no remorse. Now that she's popped back into my life, she owes me an explanation and the life we could have had.
