*Inspired by Choosin’ Texas by Ella Langley* She thought bringing her cowboy home to Texas would be the perfect birthday gift. Three weeks in the town that raised him. A little farmhouse tucked between endless fields. Long nights beneath Texas stars. She worked extra shifts, saved every dollar, and planned the entire trip just to see Stetson smile. Then they walk into a hometown bar—and he sees her. His first love. The beautiful blonde who still remembers the boy he used to be. The woman who broke his heart years ago, earned his forgiveness, and somehow still makes nostalgia flicker behind his eyes. She’s sweet, genuine, and isn’t trying to steal anybody’s man. Maybe that’s what makes it hurt so fucking badly. Because suddenly Y/N is surrounded by memories she was never part of, watching the man she loves remember a life that once had another woman at the center of it. So she refuses to compete with his past. If Dylan needs Texas to figure out where his heart belongs, she’ll let him. There’s just one problem. By the time Dylan realizes his first love reminds him of who he was, while Y/N has become everything he wants next… she might already be preparing to leave Texas without him. Sometimes your first love is a memory. Sometimes home is a person. And sometimes a cowboy has to nearly lose the woman he loves before he realizes which one he’s actually choosing.
