I can't believe this is happening.

I can't believe Alex and I are right back to where we were - promising to be together. But will it work this time? My mom, Aunt Milly, and Sean kept us apart before. Now, it's everything. Alex's music career. His fiancé - the Swedish Supermodel America loves. There are so many things that could keep this from coming true, but I don't want to think about any of that. Right now, it's only Alex and me. Right now, somehow, we've found our way back to each other.

"What is it?"

I hold his hands to my face, hoping he never moves them. I shake my head, not really sure what I want to say, just hoping he never lets me go.
