The Girl Between Us

Synopsis

My boyfriend, Ethan Carter, had a childhood sweetheart, Jenny Lawson, who'd had a crush on him forever. At first, we just laughed about it. Well, she was only eleven or twelve back then. What could a kid that age possibly know about love? But ten years later, she was still there, lingering between us. And over time, I noticed the way Ethan looked at her change—from helpless annoyance to something gentler, almost affectionate. That was when I realized how wrong I'd been. Once, we were arguing about her again. Ethan finally snapped, "She's just a little girl. What's your problem?" I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "A twenty-year-old 'little girl'? Oh, please. Even you've got to hear how ridiculous that sounds," I sneered.
