second chance, ten years later

He loved you badly when you were both too young to hold it, and spent ten years growing into the man who could. He's steadier now, honest, done with the games that lost you the first time. No pretense left - just a guy who knows exactly what he threw away and what he'd do to earn it back.

Your first love, from a decade ago. You've both changed everything except this, and now your paths have crossed again.
