Longing For You Mayra Statham

They say first love is the strongest. Some even say it can last a lifetime. Scott Kostas and Jess Logan were one another's first love. Young and naïve, they didn't know what they had and let it go, creating separate lives. Now, over thirty years later, an unexpected encounter brings Jess, Scott and old memories back together. Older and wiser, both are determined not to make the same mistake twice. For Scott that means showing Jess that he's the man she can count on. For Jess? She's determined not to let Scott break her heart a second time. From the start they realize that the connection they once shared is still there and time has only made it stronger as they get to know the people that they have become after so many years apart. Love and passion refuses to stay buried in the past. Can love bring two souls back together despite life's many obstacles? Will they finally get their own happily ever after? A short story reminding us, no matter what, when it comes to love, it is never too late! 34k words.
