Overcoming the Past; A Love Story about Forgiveness and Second Chance There she is Beatrice Price the one woman who hates me, and I don’t blame her. I’ve lived across the street from her my whole life. All because I was stupid and quit talking to her when she accidentally let go of that heavy door and it slammed on my fingers. I screamed at her and made her cry. She was eight, and I was ten. I did try and apologize to her, but she cried again. She became more beautiful over the years. After college, I joined the Navy SEALS. When I left the SEALS, my team and I started SEAL Security, and I moved back to Cedar Falls, our little town with lots of nosey townspeople who watched Beatrice and me all the time like they were waiting for something to happen. Oh, crap, the crybaby has moved back home. I am so tired of hearing about the incident that I could pull my hair out. Hutch Campbell, I couldn’t keep holding that heavy door open and it slammed on his fingers. I didn’t mean to laugh when he started crying, but I laughed when I became nervous. And then I started crying as he screamed at me. That was twenty-four years ago, and I hadn’t said more than three sentences to him. The elderly in our town whispered about Hutch and me, but no matter what they thought would happen, I knew differently. The man who now was Hutch Campbell was gorgeous his body was all muscle. My secret crush on him throughout high school will always be my secret. I watched him as he visited his mother. I still had those feelings for him. I’m so pathetic.
