Eight years ago I was given an ultimatum. I made my choice, and I've regretted it every day since.

A lot has happened to me since I walked away from Levi Beckford, but I know now just how precious life can be. There hasn't been a day that's gone by that I haven't thought about Levi and wondered what our life would be like if I'd chosen him. But I didn't. I broke his heart, and today I'm moving home in hopes that he'll forgive me. I want a second chance, and he needs to know that I love him more than life itself.

I know it won't be easy, earning his trust again, but I'm prepared to spend every last breath I have proving to him that we're meant to be together. I just pray that it isn't too late. My name is Laney Jacobs, and this is my story.
