Constance Montgomery has spent years quietly loving the boy next door while pretending she doesn’t. After one kiss at fifteen, everything between her and Alexander Walker fell apart—and never quite recovered. Now eighteen, Constance keeps her world small and safe: books, crochet, her mother’s flower shop, and a carefully hidden life she doesn’t talk about. Alex has moved on publicly, but he’s still too close to forget. Then she’s diagnosed with cancer. And Constance makes a list of everything she wants to do before time takes the choice away from her—skydive, travel, live, love. There’s only one rule: Alex Walker isn’t part of it. Because she loves him to much to hurt him. But some people are impossible to leave out of a story… especially when they were always meant to be in it.
