Page 61 of The Risks of Reuniting

Imagine that you're sitting in an airport one day and the man you loved with your whole heart comes walking to your gate and tells you he's going to the same place you're going, after you'd broken up and hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Yeah, that happened.

Holt has been here in Peru with me this whole time. Yep. I didn't tell you because I didn't know what to say. But, after a few weeks working together we've had a chance to talk and sort of reconnect, I guess, and we have decided we both missed each other and want to try to work it out.

Holt has an internship in SLC for a month after this, which will give us time to be together and see if we can make different choices than we did before.

I have many feelings about this, but I think we can all agree that I've been miserable without him and I need to take this risk because – darn it, I believe in love, okay? Mock me if you must. Please be nice to him. We were both to blame.

See you soon.

Love,

Chloe

Next step – the cousins.

Hey guys. Surprise surprise. Holt ended up on the same humanitarian trip as me. Yeah, I maybe could have told you guys weeks ago, but I'm telling you now. And we've kind of reconnected. And he's still a really good kisser. And he's coming back to Salt Lake for a little bit. so that's the news here . . .

Dani

I feel like you just told us the ending of a romance novel without letting us read the first chapters. Back up and give us all the details! Did you have a meet-cute? Is he still sexy as ever? Do you have pictures? I need details!

Avery

Wait, seriously?That's amazing!

He surprised me by showing up at the airport gate in Atlanta. So I guess that's a meet-cute? He's still the sexiest! I'm proud of myself for holding out as long as I did. I haven't taken any pictures because I didn't wanna jinx it, but I'll see what I can do this week :)

Poppy

I'm still kinda hung up on the "should have told you before" part. Why didn't you tell us??? There's been kissing and we didn't even know he was there?? WHO ARE YOU??

:) Sorry Pops! I didn't tell you guys because I didn't know what to make of the whole thing. It blew my mind. I have now picked my mind back up off the floor and will be better about communicating!

Poppy

We make a good sounding board. You didn't have to go through it alone.

Sadie

Of course he ended up on the same trip as you :) You two are meant to be together.

Lucy

I love a good second chance romance. Plus, he's been your co-worker this whole time? Double tropes, double love. I'm sohappy for you!

And last, but not least, my best friend, Allie definitely needed a full update.

Hey Al. I may have kissed Holt a few times

Allie

What now?

You read that right

Allie
