And then there she was, and suddenly he wanted things. Wanted her. Soft and beautiful inside and out, the light to eclipse all others, his one true love. She was his from the first moment he spotted her over a year ago, but they don't belong together. She's too young for him, too full of life, too joyful, and he has emotional baggage not even his private jet's hold could carry. He could never have her.
